Problema Solution
The container that holds the water for the football team is 1/2 full. After pouring out 2 gallons of water, it is 1/3 full. How many gallons can the container hold?
Answer provided by our tutors
2 gallons = 1/3 of water
so, it holds 6 gallons.
However, if you are saying 1/3 of the water (1/2 full) is poured out, then it holds twice that, or 12 gallons.
