so
find the equality of 1/9 to 84
then add the 1/9 and 1/9 together
and then you have your answer

Sheer Nonsense!
7/9 does not equal 84,
7/9 equals 7/9
Let the capacity of the container be x ounces, then
(7/9)x = 84
x = 84(9/7) = 108 ounces
7/9 does not equal 84,
7/9 equals 7/9
Let the capacity of the container be x ounces, then
(7/9)x = 84
x = 84(9/7) = 108 ounces
