Answer:
Weight of Container = 1/4 kg = 0.25 Kg
Step-by-step explanation:
weight of full container = 1 kg
when it is half filled it weighs = 5/8 kg
weight of the sand that has been taken out
= 1 - 5/8 = (8 - 5) / 8 = 3/8 kg
Weight of sand = 2 × (3/8) = 3/4 kg
weight of empty container = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4 kg
