The mass of a container is 5.81kg when its completely filled with sugar. Its mass is 3.8kg when 3 8 of the sugae is removed. What is the mass of the contsiner when it is empty?
To find the mass of the container when it is empty, we need to subtract the mass of the sugar that was removed from the mass of the container when it was completely filled.
Mass of the container when completely filled with sugar = 5.81 kg
Mass of the container when 3/8 of the sugar is removed = 3.8 kg
Mass of the sugar removed = (5.81 kg) - (3.8 kg) = 1.01 kg
Therefore, the mass of the container when it is empty is 1.01 kg.
