Question

Rebecca bought candy boxes in the shape of a square pyramid to use for party favors. The side length of each box is 3.6 inches, and the height is 4 inches. Rebecca wants to fill each box with 20 pieces of candy. If each piece of candy is 0.8 in.³, will Rebecca be able to fit 20 pieces of candy into each candy box?

Answer 1

Yes maybe.

Explanation:

Well basically if we find the volume of 20 pieces of candy in all, that would be= 20*0.8= 16 cu.inches

And then if we find the volume of the square based pyramid, that would certainly be= 3.6*3.6*4 that is 51.84

Then lastly, if we do, 51.84 ÷16 the final answer will be 3.24. Which might actually be the answer as the pieces of candy certainly can't pass the limit 20 according to me.
