Question

anonymous · Answer

The volume of a cylnder is the area of the base which is the circle area times the height.
$$V = \pi r^2h$$
When you solve that, you'll get the volume of a single container, divide the total liquid by the one a container can hold and you'll find how many containers you'll need.
