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

Answer 1

To estimate how many chocolates would fit in a 2000 mL jar given the details you've provided, we'll need to clarify a few points:

1. Volume of Individual Chocolates: The volume of each chocolate varies by type. For example:

   • An Aero chocolate bar is approximately 45 grams, but its volume would be less than its weight because the chocolate contains air.
   • A Kit Kat finger is about 15 grams, with a similar issue regarding volume.
   • Skittles are small, about 2 grams each.

2. Shape of the Jar and Arrangement of Chocolates: The way the chocolates are arranged can also greatly influence how many fit inside the jar. Chocolates may fill spaces or stack on top of each other differently depending on their shape.

3. Estimate of Chocolates on the Sides: You mentioned counting about 14-15 chocolates per side. Assuming the jar is relatively cylindrical and you have a rough idea about the number of sides, you can multiply that by the number of sides (e.g., 4 or 6 sides) to get an idea of how many are visible from the outside, but this won't give an accurate count of how many total chocolates could fit inside.

The following is an attempt to provide a rough calculation of how many chocolates could fit inside the jar.

Calculation Steps:

1. Volume of Jar: 2000 mL is equal to 2000 cubic centimeters (cc) since 1 mL = 1 cc.

2. Estimate Volume Per Chocolate:

   • Aero: Approximately 20-30 cc each (depending on the exact size).
   • Kit Kat: Approximately 10-15 cc each for a single finger.
   • Skittles: Approximately 2 cc each (depending on the exact size).

3. Estimate How Many Fits in the Jar:

   • For simplicity, let's assume an average chocolate volume for:
     • Aero: 25 cc
     • Kit Kat: 15 cc
     • Skittles: 2 cc

Now assuming we take averages:

• Aero count: $\frac{2000\text{ cc}}{25\text{ cc/euro}}=80\text{ Aeros}$
• Kit Kat count: $\frac{2000\text{ cc}}{15\text{ cc/Kit Kat}}\approx 133\text{ Kit Kats}$
• Skittles count: $\frac{2000\text{ cc}}{2\text{ cc/Skittle}}=1000\text{ Skittles}$

Final Approximation:

Based on these rough estimates, you could fit approximately:

• 80 Aero chocolates,
• 133 Kit Kats,
• 1000 Skittles,

into a 2000 mL jar if calculating by volume alone and assuming full capacity without empty space.

However, since chocolates do not perfectly fill spaces, the actual number may vary. Adjust your expectations based on the actual chocolates you wish to use and their respective shapes and sizes.
