There are two containers with different volumes:
Container 1: The dimensions are 4.8 x 5.0 x 6.0. The volume is calculated to be:
[tex]V_1=4.8\times5.0\times6.0=144\text{ cubic units}[/tex]
Container 2: The dimensions are 6.2 x 10.0 X 9.0. The volume is calculated to be:
[tex]V_2=6.2\times10.0\times9.0=558\text{ cubic units}[/tex]
The question provides that the first container contains 242 gummy bears. This follows that the number of gummy bears per cubic unit is given to be:
[tex]\Rightarrow\frac{242}{144}=\frac{121}{72}\text{ gummy bears per cubic volume}[/tex]
Therefore, in container 2, we can have the number of gummy bears to be:
[tex]\Rightarrow\frac{121}{72}\times558=937.75\text{ gummy bears}[/tex]
To the nearest whole number, the number of gummy bears is 938 gummy bears.
