Question 765463: A student read about Volkswagen packing in the 1960s. She was interested in knowing the maximum number of students that fit into a Volkswagen car. How might you help her estimate an answer in a reasonable way? Explain. Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You could find the volume of the car and the volume of an average student. Then you can divide the two to get a somewhat reasonable estimate (round down to the nearest whole number). Things may get uncomfortable though and you may have to lower this estimate to make things more reasonable (ie: there may be places that don't get filled because they're too tiny or cramped)
