Question

Imagine you are working for Hasbro making Gummy Bear containers. On a day to day basis you fill up two different size containers with gummy bears. One of the containers is 3.2 x 5.3 x 6.0 in dimensions and contains 291 gummy bears. The other is 9.1 x 9.6 x 9.8 in dimensions. About how many gummy bears would fit in the box? Round to the nearest whole number. 

Answer 1

Need to figure out the volume of an individual gummy bear.

The first container is 3.2 * 5.3 6.0 = 101.76

so each gummy bear is 101.76/291 = 0.3496

The second container is 9.1 * 9.6 * 9.8 = 856.128

So number of gummy bars in second container is 856.128/0.3496 = 2448.88 ~ 2449
