7.5 centimeters

Explanation:

Concepts
Volume regarding 3-dimensional quantity of an enclosed structure; for rectangular prisms like the tanks mentioned here, the formula is lxxwxxh -- "length times width times height"

Information
Container A is filled to the brim and its content have a volume of 10xx6xx5=10xx30=300 cubic centimeters.
So we also have 300 cubic centimeters of water.

Container B is empty and its contents will have a volume of 4xx10xxh (h being the height of the water after A is emptied into it)

Steps
To find how high the water level will be in Container B when poured from Container A, we need to set their volumes to be equal (the actual volume of B is negligible, we don't need it for this problem).
So:
10xx6xx5=300=4xx10xxh
or 300=4xx10xxh=40xxh
to get h divide: 300/40=7.5

So the height of the water in Container B will be 7.5 centimeters high.
