Question

Please help! Correct answers only please! The M&M jar has a square base with a length and width of 7 cm and a height of 6.5 cm. What would be the most reasonable lower limit for the number of M&M`s in the jar of the choices below? A.100 B.10,000 C.100,000 D.1,00,000

Answer 1

Answer: a) 100

Explanation:

Volume (V) of the prism = Length(L) x width(w) x height(h)

V = 7 x 7 x 6.5

= 318.5 cm³

Next, what is the volume of an M & M? The info isn't given so according to the internet it is 0.636 cm³

`\text{Quantity}=\frac{\text{Volume of the prism}}{\text{Volume of an M}\ \&\ \text{M}}}=(318.5)/(0.636)=\large\boxed{500}`

The nearest answer to this is: (a) 100

because the upper limit cannot be 10,000
