Question

Please help! Correct answer only, please! A student was conducting a study to determine how many loose Gala apples could be packed in different box sizes at the local farmer's market. The average Gala apple had a diameter of 3.5 inches. Using the collected data above what would be a reasonable rough estimate of a ratio of how many cubic inches per apple?

Answer 1

Answer: d) 43.1 in³ per apple

Explanation:

`A: (20* 13* 12\ in^3)/(72\ apples)/ (72)/(72)=\large\boxed{43.3\ in^3\ per\ apple}\\\\\\B: (12* 12* 12\ in^3)/(40\ apples)/ (40)/(40)=\large\boxed{43.2\ in^3\ per\ apple}\\\\\\C: (20* 10* 6\ in^3)/(28\ apples)/ (28)/(28)=\large\boxed{42.9\ in^3\ per\ apple}`

The average of the rates above is:

`(43.3+43.2+42.9)/(3)=\large\boxed{43.1\ in^3\ per\ apple}`
