    A: 238.455 L

    B: 120 containers

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A:

    31.5 * 2 = 63 gallons

    63 gallons = 3.785 * 63 = 238.455 L

    B:

    because we want to pour 238.455L oil into 2L containers, we can do this:

    238.455 : 2 = 119 ... 0.455

    we can pour the oil into 119 containers, but there is still 0.455L oil.

    So, we need one more containers for 0.455L oil.

    119 + 1 = 120 containers.
