The container can hold 22 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'g' be the number of gallons a container can hold

Given the initial amount of water = 1/6 g

Given that 11 gallons of water have been added to the container.

so the final quantity will become = 2/3 g

Thus, the equation becomes

$\frac{2}{3}g-\frac{1}{6}g=11$

Multiply by LCM 6

$\frac{2}{3}g\cdot \:6-\frac{1}{6}g\cdot \:6=11\cdot \:6$

4g-g=66

3g=66

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3g}{3}=\frac{66}{3}$

g=22

Therefore, the container can hold 22 gallons of water.

It would be D because you need to multiply 38 and 50. But x is the length of one classroom, and because we don't know it, you would get 38(50-x).

Good luck!!
