if you had a liter container full of marbles and half container full of sand,would a mixture of the two measure 1 1/2 liter?

Have you lost some marbles? Sand will fit in between the marbles, won't it?

Yes,because 1L plus 0.5L = 1.5L

To determine if the mixture of a liter container full of marbles and half container full of sand would measure 1 1/2 liters, we need to assess the combined volume of the marbles and sand.

First, let's calculate the volume of the marbles. Since the container is one liter, we can assume that the marbles occupy a space of one liter.

Next, let's determine the volume of the sand. The container is half-full of sand, meaning it occupies half a liter of space.

To find the total volume of the mixture, we add the volumes of the marbles and sand:

Volume of marbles (1 liter) + Volume of sand (0.5 liters) = 1.5 liters

Therefore, the total volume of the mixture would be 1.5 liters, which matches the given measurement of 1 1/2 liters.
