Answer 1

8.5 / 0.45 = 18.89.....and since u cant have 0.89 of a pea, ur answer would be 18 peas.

Answer 2

18 peas

Explanation:

The length of a green bean pod = 8.5 centimeters

Pod contains peas that average in diameter = 0.45 centimeters.

Now we have to calculate the number of peas contains in the pod.

Therefore, we will divide the diameter of peas to the length of the pod.

=
`\frac{\text{length of been pod}}{\text{Diameter of peas}}`

=
`(8.5)/(0.45)`

= 18.89 ≈ 18 peas

Therefore,A green bean pod contains 18 peas.
