measure the density of a large bag of candies, put themin a measureing cup to get volume, then on a kitchen scale to get mass.
you have mass/cup now, change mass to number of candies, and cups to ft^3
you now have density in number/ft^3
pretty easy from then on
A standard dorm bedroom at most colleges is 10 ft. wide by 15 ft. long. A bag of regular M&Ms has approximately 200 candies inside of it and usually costs around 67 cents. How much money would it cost to completely fill a dorm bedroom with regular M&Ms? a) Clearly state how you will approach solving this problem. List any assumptions that you would have to make. b) What is your educated guess of how much money it would take to completely fill a dorm bedroom with regular M&Ms? Do this part without any calculations. c) Actually solve the problem using your assumptions from part a) and any calculations that you feel are necessary. Your answer need only be given to one significant figure.
