Answer:

396 candy corns

Explanation:

Step 1: convert the 7 pounds that can fit in the jar into grams

1 pound = 453 grams

jar = 7 pounds

therefore the grams that can fit in the jar = 7 x 453 grams

= 3171 grams

Step 2: to calculate how many candy corns can fit in the jar if each candy corn = 8 grams, we divide the total grams that can fit in the jar by the weight of each candy corn

3171 ÷ 8 = 369.37 (round down to 369)

therefore approximately 369 candy corns can fit in the jar.
