Here is a box of pasta and a cylindrical container. The two objects are the same height, and the cylinder is just wide enough fo
r the box to fit inside with all 4 vertical edges of the box touching the inside of the cylinder. 1. If the box of pasta fits 8 cups of rice, estimate how many cups of rice will fit inside the cylinder a. 5 cups of rice b. 11 cups c. Rice 10 gallons of rice d. 16 cups of rice 2. Explain your reasoning.
An estimate on the cups of rice that would fit into the cylinder is 11 cups. This is because based on the information provided in the question, the cylinder is slightly larger than the box. Thus, it would contain a little more cups of rice than the box.
