Algebra.Com's Answer #783797 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! it's not 1,000 or 10,000, so it's probably 100. \n" ); document.write( "one peson gave a formula of volume of container divided by volume of m&m * .68 \n" ); document.write( "volume of container is 7 * 7 * 6.5 = 318.5 cubic cm. \n" ); document.write( "volume of m&m given as .636 \n" ); document.write( "formula becomes 318.5 / .636 * .68 = 340 roughly. \n" ); document.write( "see this refernce: \n" ); document.write( "https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1703595#:~:text=636%20cubic%20centimeters%20%2D%2D%20the%20volume%20of%20one%20M%26M. \n" ); document.write( "anothr website showed width and the length of a standard sized m&m. \n" ); document.write( "that s howed me the width is apprimately 2.5/4 cm and the diameter is approximately 5.4/4. \n" ); document.write( "assuming i'm dealing with a rectangular shape, rather than the unique shape of an m&m, i determined the volume of the rectangular shape of the m&m would be approximately 2.5/4 * 5.4/4 * 5.4/4 = 1.1390625 cubic centimeters. \n" ); document.write( "318.5 / 1.1390625 = approximately 280 m&m's. \n" ); document.write( "the answer therefore appears to be less than 1000 and more than 100, so the lower limit is probably 100 since there don't appear to be another options. \n" ); document.write( "if 300 was an option, i would have probably picked that. \n" ); document.write( "here's the reference for the last calculations. \n" ); document.write( "https://www.google.com/search?q=dimensions+of+an+m%26m&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS874US874&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=zo_JYgTD6fPr3M%253A%252CEqbFs1xIZIru1M%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kSI06mpx78hJivRjv8tQetBeHcPJg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiYvMnsrujpAhUnoHIEHZoIBacQ9QEwCnoECAgQHA#imgrc=tiQCnkSKkopjuM\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
