Answer to Question #175504 in Algebra for Andu

Question

How many candies hold approximately a 1-liter jar? Argument it.

Answer 1

An approximate method to calculate the number of candies in a jar, is to multiply the number along the width and length of the base by the number of candies in the height of the jar. Granular Matter theory then tells us that on average a jar of mixed shapes will have about a 30% air gap in between the candies.
