If you have the following data about a container of rice, approximately how many grains of rice are estimated to be in the container?

- Mass of Rice + Container = 786 grams
- Mass of 1000 Grains of Rice = 28 grams
- Mass of Container ONLY = 332 grams

Approximately, how many grains of rice are in the container?

Answer :

If we are given the information below on a container of rice, there are approximately 16,214 grains within. Weight of Rice plus Container is 786 grams. 1000 rice grains equal 28 grams in mass. 332 grams are the mass of the container alone.

We can start by subtracting the mass of the container from the total mass of the container and rice to get the mass of the rice:

Mass of rice = Mass of rice + container - Mass of container only

Mass of rice = 786 g - 332 g

Mass of rice = 454 g

  • Next, we can use the mass of 1000 grains of rice to estimate the number of grains in the container:

Number of grains of rice = (Mass of rice / Mass of 1000 grains of rice) x 1000

Number of grains of rice = (454 g / 28 g) x 1000

Number of grains of rice = 16,214.3

Therefore, it is estimated that there are approximately 16,214 grains of rice in the container.
