Solution

(a) Since each container holds 58 kg of flour, and Lily only has 9 kg of flour, she cannot fill even one container completely. So, the greatest number of containers she could fill is 0.

(b) Since Lily could not fill any containers, all the flour is still in the sack. So, the mass of flour left in the sack is 9 kg.
