Solution

First, we need to convert the volume of the bucket from liters to pints since the container's volume is given in pints.

We know that 1 US gallon = 3.785 liters and 1 US gallon = 8 pints.

So, 1 liter = 8/3.785 pints = 2.11338 pints (approximately).

Therefore, the volume of the 8 L bucket in pints is 8 L * 2.11338 pints/L = 16.90704 pints.

Finally, to find out how many times Roberto will have to fill up the container to fill the bucket, we divide the volume of the bucket by the volume of the container:

16.90704 pints / 2 pints/container = 8.45352 containers.

Since Roberto can't fill up a container half-way (we assume he can only fill it up completely), he will need to fill up the container 9 times to fill the 8 L bucket.
