Question

The container that holds the water of the football team is 2/5 full after pouring in 6 gallons of water it is 7/10 full how many gallons can a container hold

Answer 1

so the container was 2/5 full, then you dump in it 6 gallons and it went up to 7/10 full.

alrite, let's say the container can hold "x" gallons.


`\bf \cfrac{2}{5}x+\cfrac{7}{10}x=6\implies \cfrac{(2\cdot 2)x+7x}{10}=6\implies \cfrac{4x+7x}{10}=6 \\\\\\ \cfrac{11x}{10}=6\implies 11x=60\implies x=\cfrac{60}{11}\implies x=5(5)/(11)`
