How many candy canes will fit into a jar?

This is a fun question! There's no single right answer, as it depends on:

* The size of the jar: A tiny jelly jar will hold way fewer candy canes than a large pickle jar.

* The size of the candy canes: Are they standard size, or mini?

* How they're packed: If they're carefully arranged, you can fit more than if they're thrown in randomly.

Here's how to figure it out:

1. Measure the jar: Find the volume of the jar in cubic inches or cubic centimeters.

2. Measure a candy cane: Find its volume.

3. Divide: Divide the jar's volume by the candy cane's volume. This gives you a rough estimate of how many candy canes *could* fit.

Important note: You'll likely get a higher number than what you can actually fit because:

* Candy canes aren't perfectly square, so there's wasted space between them.

* You can't pack them tightly enough to achieve the theoretical maximum.
