Answer:

160,000 tins

Explanation:

To find the number of tins, divide the fill rate by the volume per tin.

__

(2·(1000 L)/min)×(60 min)/(1 h)/(0.75 L/tin) = 160,000 tin/h

160,000 tins of paint can be filled in 1 hour.

_____

Additional comment

That's one tin every 22.5 milliseconds. It would be a feat of engineering to move that volume without splashing.

There are 60 minutes per hour. There are 1000 liters per cubic meter.
