Answer:

15 times and more. After she pours the 15th container, in the middle of the next one, the work will be done.

Explanation:

Length, Area, and Volume Scale Factors

If two similar shapes have a length scale factor of a:b, then the scale factor of their areas (or surface lateral areas) is
a^2:b^2 and the scale factor of their volumes is
a^3:b^3.

We are given the scale factor of the surface areas of two similar containers A and B as 4:25.

The length scale factor is


√(4):√(25)=2:5

The volume scale factor is:
5^3:2^3 = 125:8 = 15.625

Warda needs to fill with oil and pour into container B 15.625 times to get container B full of oil.

Thus, after she pours the 15th container, in the middle of the next one, the work will be done
