C) 1059 skittles
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the first container held 192 skittles. Knowing the dimension of the container we can calculate the volume of 192 skittles:
Volume of 192 skittles = 5 × 4 × 4 = 80 cm³
Volume of 1 skittle = 80 / 192 = 0.42 cm³
We also know that the second container held 258 skittles. Knowing the dimension of the container we can calculate the volume of 258 skittles:
Volume of 258 skittles = 12 × 3 × 3 = 108 cm³
Volume of 1 skittle = 108 / 258 = 0.42 cm³
We found that the volume of 1 skittle is equal to 0.42 cm³. Now we calculate the volume of the skittles jar:
volume of cylinder = π × radius² × height
volume of skittles jar = 3.14 × 3.5² × 11.5 = 442 cm³
Now we can calculate the number of skittles in the jar:
number of skittles in the jar = volume of the jar / skittle volume
number of skittles in the jar = 442 / 0.42 = 1052 which is close the C) 1059
