You buy a cylindrical container of salt with a diameter of 3.25 inches and a height of 5 inches. your salt shaker is a cylinder with a diameter of 1 inch and a height of 1.5 inches. how many times can you fill your salt shaker with the container! round your answer to the nearest whole number.

First calculate volume of the cylindrical container: Pi * R2 * H; where Pi is 22/7 or 3.147, R is the radius and H is the height of the container.

Vol of the cylindrical container: 3.147 * (3.25/2) * (3.25/2)* 5 = 41.55 inch 3

Volume of the shaker using the above principle:
3.147 * (1/2) * (1/2) * 1.5 = 1.18 inch 3

Number of times it can fill the salt shaker will be the ratio of the volumes:

= Volume of the cylindrical container divided by the volume of the shaker = 41.55 divided by 1.18

Answer is 35 times if rounded in absolute number.
