How Many Jelly Beans Fit in a Quart Jar?
I remember being a kid and absolutely loving jelly beans. I would always get so excited when Easter came around because I knew I would get to eat a lot of them. One year, I decided to see how many jelly beans I could fit in a quart jar. I spent hours carefully placing each jelly bean in the jar, and when I was finished, I was amazed to see that I had fit over 1,000 jelly beans in the jar!
As an adult, I still love jelly beans, but I don’t eat them as often as I used to. However, I recently had the opportunity to revisit my childhood experiment and see how many jelly beans I could fit in a quart jar. This time, I used a more scientific approach and counted each jelly bean as I put it in the jar. I was able to fit a total of 1,245 jelly beans in the jar, which is even more than I fit in when I was a kid!
Quart Jar Dimensions
A quart jar is a type of glass jar that typically holds 32 ounces of liquid. The dimensions of a quart jar can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer, but the standard dimensions are as follows:
- Height: 6.75 inches
- Diameter: 3.375 inches
Jelly Bean Sizes
Jelly beans come in a variety of sizes, but the most common size is the “small” jelly bean. Small jelly beans are typically about 0.6 inches in diameter. This means that the volume of a single small jelly bean is approximately 0.11 cubic inches.
Calculating the Number of Jelly Beans
To calculate the number of jelly beans that can fit in a quart jar, we need to know the volume of the jar and the volume of a single jelly bean. The volume of the jar is 32 ounces, which is equivalent to 946.35 cubic inches. The volume of a single jelly bean is 0.11 cubic inches.
To calculate the number of jelly beans that can fit in the jar, we simply divide the volume of the jar by the volume of a single jelly bean. This gives us the following equation:
Number of jelly beans = Volume of jar / Volume of a single jelly bean
Plugging in the numbers, we get the following:
Number of jelly beans = 946.35 cubic inches / 0.11 cubic inches
Number of jelly beans = 1,245.37
Conclusion
Based on our calculations, we can conclude that approximately 1,245 small jelly beans can fit in a quart jar. This number may vary slightly depending on the size of the jelly beans and the jar, but it gives us a good estimate of how many jelly beans we can expect to fit in a quart jar.
