Answer:

Yes, we can put 1 kg of the soul in the container.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

2/5 kg of soul fills 1/3 of a container.

It means if we put 2/5 kg of the soul 3 times in the container then the container will be full.


(2)/(5)+(2)/(5)+(2)/(5)=(6)/(5)

It means
(6)/(5) kgs of soul fill the container.


(6)/(5) is greater than 1 so it means we can put 1 kg of the soul in the container.
