Question
Estimate the number of jelly beans in the jar of Fig. 1-18.(Figure can't copy)Fig. 1-18.
Step 1
We can estimate the number of jelly beans in one layer, which we can consider as the cross-sectional area of the cylinder. From the figure, we estimate that there are approximately 25 jelly beans per layer. Show more…

estimate the number of beans in a standard 15 oz can of pinto beans
Consider the jar of jelly beans in the photo. To get an estimate of the number of beans in the jar you weigh six beans and obtain masses of $3.15,3.12,2.98,3.14,3.02,$ and 3.09 $\mathrm{g}$ . Then you weigh the jar with all the beans in it, and obtain a mass of 2082 g. The empty jar has a mass of 653 g. Based on these data, estimate the number of beans in the jar. Justify the number of significant figures you use in your estimate. [Section 1.6$]$
