A.10
B.100
C.1,000
D.10,000

Answer 1

Answer: I believe the answer would be 100 because there are or should be more than 100 M&M's in the jar.

Explanation:

Answer 2

C.1,000

Explanation:

The M&M jar has a square base with a length and width of 7 cm and a height of 6.5 cm.

So, the volume will be =
`7*7*6.5=318.5` cubic cm.

The volume of an M&M candy is approx 0.636 cubic centimeters.

If there are 100 M&M`s in the jar, that means the volume of each candy is
`318.5/100=3.185` cubic cm which is very large.

If there are 1000 M&M`s in the jar, that means the volume of each candy is
`318.5/1000=0.3185` cubic cm which is small.

So, we can take option C as the answer.
