To estimate how many chocolates would fit inside a 1600 mL jar, we need to consider the average size of the chocolates you mentioned (Aero, KitKat, and Skittles).
-
Assume average sizes:
- Aero: Approximately 20 mL per bar (3.5g).
- KitKat: Approximately 10 mL per bar (around 1.5g per stick).
- Skittles: Approximately 0.1 mL per piece.
-
Count of chocolates per side: If you counted (predicted about) 14/15 chocolates per side, let's say we're considering a jar where we can see chocolates on two sides (the front and the back). Therefore, you would see around \(14 + 14 = 28\) chocolates per viewing side (assuming they are layered).
-
Estimate total volume taken up by these chocolates:
-
For example, if you use Skittles:
- Each Skittle is 0.1 mL.
- 28 Skittles would take up about \(28 \times 0.1 = 2.8\) mL, which is a very small amount compared to the volume of the jar.
-
Using larger chocolates like Aero or KitKat, let’s say you go with KitKat for this estimation:
- If you estimate 28 chocolates at an average of 10 mL each (for KitKat), it would be \(28 \times 10 = 280\) mL.
-
-
Total estimated chocolates in the entire jar: Let’s consider packing efficiency and filling the jar:
- The volume of the jar is 1600 mL.
- If the jar holds chocolates that are both small and large and potentially fits better due to shape, we can downscale the packing maximum capacity.
- A rough packing efficiency could be around 70% (due to air gaps), meaning the effective volume for chocolates could be around \(1600 \times 0.7 = 1120\) mL.
-
Total estimation:
-
For KitKat: If we take 10 mL per chocolate (280 chocolates): \[ \text{Number of KitKats} = \frac{1120 , \text{mL}}{10 , \text{mL/chocolate}} = 112 \text{ chocolates} \]
-
For Aero (20 mL each): \[ \text{Number of Aeros} = \frac{1120}{20} = 56 , \text{Aeros} \]
-
For Skittles (0.1 mL each): \[ \text{Number of Skittles} = \frac{1120}{0.1} = 11200 , \text{Skittles} \]
-
Depending on the type of chocolate you choose, the estimate for how many would fit into a 1600 mL jar can be vastly different. Choose the specific type and you can gather a more precise count! In summary, you could potentially fit about 112 KitKats, 56 Aeros, or 11200 Skittles in a 1600 mL jar.
