How much chocolates (aero, kitkate, skittles) would be inside a about 2000 ML jar and if I counted (predicted about) 14/15 chocolates per side (not counted the inside) How many?

Answer 1

To estimate the number of chocolates (Aero, KitKat, Skittles) in a 2000 mL jar, we first need to make some assumptions about the average size of these chocolates, as well as how they pack together in the jar.

1. Estimate the volume of each chocolate:

   • A standard Aero or KitKat bar piece might take up about 10 mL each, while Skittles are much smaller—around 0.5 mL each.

2. Assumption based on your description:

   • You mentioned seeing 14-15 chocolates per side, but we need to define what "side" means in a jar context. Assuming a jar is cylindrical, let's consider a standard jar.
   • If you estimated 14-15 candies on one side, I'll assume we are viewing the side of the jar and want to find out approximately how many chocolates fit in the jar overall.

Step by Step Calculation:

1. Count of sides:

   • Let's assume the jar has about 4 sides in a square-like layout (as we cannot fully visualize).
   • The total number from your side count would be roughly \(14 \text{ chocolates} \times 4 \text{ sides} = 56 \text{ chocolates}\).

2. Volume Calculation:

   • If we assume an average volume estimate based on the type:
     • Aero and KitKat: 10 mL each
     • Skittles: 0.5 mL each
   • Let's calculate rough estimates with each chocolate type:
     • If mostly Aero and KitKat are in the jar → \(56 \text{ chocolates} \times 10 \text{ mL} = 560 mL\)
     • If mostly Skittles → \(56 \text{ chocolates} \times 0.5 \text{ mL} = 28 mL\)

3. Total chocolates based on volume:

   • Assuming a mix, we can also consider that the remaining volume of the jar (up to 2000 mL) will be filled in various combinations.
   • We could say that the chocolates packed tightly (considering their shapes) could take up about 60-70% of the jar's volume (due to air gaps and uneven packing).

Estimation:

Given the jar can hold up to 2000 mL, let's say the chocolates take up about 70% of that space effectively:

• Total occupied volume of chocolates: \(2000 \text{ mL} \times 0.7 = 1400 \text{ mL}\).

Conclusion:

Estimating the number of chocolates, if they average out to about 10 mL each, \[ \frac{1400 \text{ mL}}{10 \text{ mL/chocolate}} = 140 \text{ chocolates} \] If mainly Skittles throughout: \[ \frac{1400 \text{ mL}}{0.5 \text{ mL/chocolate}} = 2800 \text{ Skittles} \]

Final Count:

• Depending on the mix, your jar could potentially contain around 140-2800 total chocolates if mixing types of candies:
• Roughly 140 Aero/KitKat or 2800 Skittles, with the actual number likely being in between these figures based on proportions.

Ultimately, exact figures would vary depending on the actual sizes, shape, and packing of chocolates used.
