Answer: Yes, it can

Explanation:

To solve this, we will have to find the highest kilograme of soil that can fit into the container

2/5 kg = 1/3

x = 1

cross multiply

1/3 x = 2/5 kg

multiply both-side by 3

x/3 × 3 = 2/5 kg × 3

x = 6/5 kg

x = 1 1/5kg

Highest kilogram that can fit into the container is 1 1/5 kg

Since the highest kilogram that can fit into the container is 1 1/5kg ,

This implies 1 kg can fit into the the container since 1kg less than 1.2kg
