An 8.5 centimeter green bean pod contains peas that average 0.45 centimeter in diameter. How many peas are in the pod?
8.5 / 0.45 = 18.89.....and since u cant have 0.89 of a pea, ur answer would be 18 peas.
Answer:
18 peas
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of a green bean pod = 8.5 centimeters
Pod contains peas that average in diameter = 0.45 centimeters.
Now we have to calculate the number of peas contains in the pod.
Therefore, we will divide the diameter of peas to the length of the pod.
= \(\frac{\text{length of been pod}}{\text{Diameter of peas}}\)
= \(\frac{8.5}{0.45}\)
= 18.89 ≈ 18 peas
Therefore,A green bean pod contains 18 peas.
