Question

The skittles jar has a square base with a length and width of 7 cm and a height of 6.5 cm. Using the two given boxes for reference what would be a good estimate for the number of skittles in the jar?

Answer 1

Answer:

762

Step-by-step explanation:

Container 1 Volume =  5* 4 * 4 cm³

= 80 cm³

Number of skittles = 192

Number of skittles per cm³ = 192/80  = 2.4

Container 2 Volume =  12* 3 * 3 cm³

= 108 cm³

Number of skittles = 258

Number of skittles per cm³ = 258/108  = 2.39

Volume of Jar = 7 * 7 * 6.5

= 318.5 cm³

Numbers of skittles approx =

318.5 *  2.39  = 761

318.5 * 2.4   = 764

so out of given option 762 is the right answer
