The container that holds the water for the football team is1.2  full. After pouring in  3gallons of water, it is1.3  full. How many gallons can the container hold?

Are those numbers 1/2 and 1/3 or 1.2% and 1.3%?

anonymous · Answer

1/2 and 1/3

anonymous · Answer

No no there is something wrong. The container is already half(0.5 or 1/2) full. How can it be 0.33(1/3) full after pouring in another 3gallons? 0.3<0.5 that number must be greater than 0.5
