container A has twice the capicity of container B. container A is full of sand and container B is empty. suppose 1/8 of the sand in container A is poured into container B. what fractional part of container B will conatin sand.........please halpme i am confused
Since B is only half the size of A, 1/8 of A = 1/4 of B.
To find out what fractional part of container B will contain sand after pouring 1/8 of the sand from container A, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the initial amount of sand in container A and container B.
Given that container A is full of sand and container B is empty, container A initially contains 1 whole unit of sand, while container B contains 0 units.
Step 2: Calculate the amount of sand poured from container A into container B.
Since we are pouring 1/8 of the sand from container A into container B, we need to calculate 1/8 of 1 unit of sand. To do this, multiply 1/8 by 1:
1/8 * 1 = 1/8.
Step 3: Add the amount of sand poured into container B to the initial amount in container B.
Since container B initially contained 0 units of sand, we add the 1/8 unit of sand poured into it:
0 + 1/8 = 1/8.
Therefore, after pouring 1/8 of the sand from container A into container B, container B will contain 1/8 of the sand.
