To estimate how many chocolates of Aero, KitKat, and Skittles could fit in a 1600 mL jar, you first need to consider the volume of each type of chocolate.
-
Volume of Chocolates:
- Aero Bar: A standard Aero bar weighs about 35g and has a volume of roughly 30 mL.
- KitKat: A standard KitKat bar (4 fingers) weighs about 41g and has a volume of approximately 40 mL.
- Skittles: A standard bag of Skittles (approximately 60g) has a volume of about 200 mL, which means each Skittle can be estimated at around 1.3 mL.
-
Volume Available: Since you're counting about 14-15 chocolates per side, we can calculate the total number of chocolates that could fit in that volume. Assuming a jar has a cylindrical shape and taking an average packing efficiency into account, we can just use the volume for simplicity.
-
Estimating Total:
- Let's assume an average size (or volume) for each chocolate type:
- Average Aero: ~30 mL
- Average KitKat: ~40 mL
- Average Skittle: ~1.3 mL
Then calculate how many fit:
- Assuming you are only filling with one type (for simplicity):
- For Aero:
- For KitKat:
- For Skittles:
- For Aero:
- Let's assume an average size (or volume) for each chocolate type:
-
Combining All: A mix of these chocolates can be harder to predict without knowing the exact ratio, but for example you could split the jar among them.
- Let's assume you divide the jar equally:
- Each type would get about
- Aero:
- KitKat:
- Skittles:
- Each type would get about
- Let's assume you divide the jar equally:
This gives a total of approximately:
- 17 Aero bars
- 13 KitKat bars
- 410 Skittles
In total: 17 + 13 + 410 = 440 individual pieces of chocolates (Aero, KitKat, Skittles combined).
If estimating by boxes:
- Aero and KitKat usually come in packs of 3-5, while Skittles come in bags often containing about 50-60 skittles.
Depending on your local packaging information, you'll have to translate the numbers into boxes or packs. For instance:
- 17 Aero bars might equal 4-5 boxes (assuming 3-5 bars per box).
- 13 KitKats could be around 2-3 boxes.
- 410 Skittles might mean around 7-8 bags (assuming about 50-60 per bag).
So, the exact number of boxes will depend on how they are packaged in your location, but you'll be looking at about 7-10 boxes/packs total for a mix.
