    A large container can hold 1.2 ounces of salt, since it says double the amount of the small, which is 0.6 ounces.

    8 large salt shakers can hold (1.2 • 8) ounces of salt.

    1.2 • 8 = 9.6

    If only 9.6 out of the 18.6 ounces are used, there is (18.6 - 9.6) ounces left.

    18.6 - 9.6 = 9

    Now just divide 9 by 0.6 to find how many small containers can be filled.

    9 / 0.6 = 15

    The answer is 15 small shakers can be filled with the remaining salt.
