The container that holds the water for the football team is 2/9 full. After pouring in 12 gallons of water, it is 2/3 full. How many gallons can the container hold?
2/9 of the container is already full, 12 gallons are added. After the 12 gallons are added, 6/9 is full. 12g (gallons) = 4/9 so, 12g + 12g = 24g or 8/9 1/9 = 3g 12g + 12g + 3g = 27 Gallons!!
