\n" ); document.write( "The difference between 7/10 full and 1/2 full is

\n" ); document.write( "7/10 - 1/2 = 7/10 - 5/10 = 2/10 = 1/5

\n" ); document.write( "So the 5 gallons that was poured out is 1/5 of the capacity of the container; that makes the capacity of the container 5*5 = 25 gallons.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 25 gallons
