1) Customer will get a full/half round aluminium container of fried noodles. (Assuming the container is in round shape and is made of aluminium).

2) The container will be filled with noodles up to 80 percent full/half full.


Can I phrase the above sentences in such a way. Please advise. Thank you so much for helping me. :)

What do you mean by "full/half round"? Are there two different containers, one of which is completely round and the other is semi-circular?

The container will be filled (up to 80% capacity) with noodles.

As always, context is important- in casual speech, we would be less likely to use a number as exact as 80%, but in a factory preparing noodles, such precision would be a good thing.

Thanks for replying and pointing out the mistakes.

What I was trying to say full/half round is that the container is half full or full with noodles. The shape of the container is round.

Sorry for the causing the confusion. Is there a better way to phrase the sentence? Thank you.
