Correct answers only please! If you don't know the answer, then please don't guess or say what you think it is.

A student was conducting a study to determine how many mini chocolate chip cookies would fit in a plastic sealed container. He used random packing to find the following.

Using the collected data above what would be a reasonable rough estimate of a ratio of how many cubic inches per cookie?

A. 2.2 in^3/cookie

B. 0.45 in^3/cookie

C. 17.82 in^3/cookie

D. 23.76 in^3/cookie

Answer 1

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

From the dimensions first find the volume of the container and then find the estimate ratio of each cookie on diving the volume by number of cookies.

`i.e. \\ 11 * 6 * 3 = 198 \\ = > \: (198)/(90) = 2.2 \\ \\ also \: from \: the \: second \: relation \\ 6 * 6 * 2 = 72 \\ = > (72)/(33) = 2.18 \: ( = approx \: 2.2)`
