    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.
