Answer:

18 peas

Explanation:

The length of a green bean pod = 8.5 centimeters

Pod contains peas that average in diameter = 0.45 centimeters.

Now we have to calculate the number of peas contains in the pod.

Therefore, we will divide the diameter of peas to the length of the pod.

=
\frac{\text{length of been pod}}{\text{Diameter of peas}}

=
(8.5)/(0.45)

= 18.89 ≈ 18 peas

Therefore,A green bean pod contains 18 peas.
