Respuesta :

18.89 peas are in the pod, or about 18 peas, because you can divide 8.5 by 0.45 and get 18.8 recurring, or about 18.89, or 18

Answer: There are about 19 peas in the pod.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a green pod , the pods are arranged in a line.

Given : An 8.5 centimeter green bean pod contains peas that average 0.45 centimeter in diameter.

Then, the number of peas in the pod will be

[tex]=\dfrac{\text{Length of pod}}{\text{diamter of each pod}}\\\\=\dfrac{8.5}{0.45}=18.8888888889\approx19[/tex]

Hence, there are about 19 peas in the pod.
