Hello, I'm an expert in the field of geometry and spatial measurements. When it comes to the volume of a single M&M, it's important to note that the size can vary depending on the specific type and color of the candy. However, a standard M&M is approximately a small sphere, and we can estimate its volume using the formula for the volume of a sphere, which is \( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \), where \( r \) is the radius of the sphere.

M&M's are typically about 0.6 to 0.8 centimeters in diameter. Let's take the average of these dimensions for our calculation, which would be 0.7 cm. The radius \( r \) would then be half of that, or 0.35 cm. Plugging this into our formula gives us:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.35 \text{ cm})^3 \]
\[ V \approx \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.042857 \text{ cm}^3) \]
\[ V \approx 0.0569 \text{ cm}^3 \]

So, the volume of a single M&M is approximately 0.0569 cubic centimeters.

Estimate the volume of the jar in cubic centimeters and multiply by .68. Divide that sum by .636 cubic centimeters �� the volume of one M&M. Flatow suggests that 10 percent of the winnings would be a nice reward for providing this formula.read more >>
