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 UPPER LIMIT for the number of M&M's in the jar of the choices below?

REMINDER: Rectangular Prism Volume = l · w · h

A. 100

B. 10,000

C. 100,000

D. 1,000,000

Answer 1

Answer: A) 100

Explanation:

Volume = length (L) × width (w) × height (h)

= 7 cm × 7 cm × 6.5 cm

= 318.5 cm³

You did not post the volume of an M&M but based on your answer choices, I am assuming the volume of an M&M is 3.185 cm³

Volume of jar ÷ volume of one M&M

318.5 cm³ ÷ 3.185 cm³ = 100
