Question

Lois has

1.1 pounds of jelly beans. She wants to make the jelly beans last for 5.5 days. How many pounds of jelly beans should she eat each day in order to make the jelly beans last exactly 5.5 days?

Answer 1

If you have 3 and a half tablespoons of sugar, you can estimate that there is a 21.875% void in between your jelly beans. 16 TBSP = 1 Cup, 1 Cup divided by 16 TBSP = .0625, 3.5 TBSP of sugar x .0625 = .21875, So we know our jar is 547.9637625 cubic inches.
