Candies in a Volume

The Jelly Beans in a Container formula computes the approximate number of candies in a user specified volume.  

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your preferred volume units (e.g. quarts or liters) and enter the following:

• (v) The approximate volume of the candy in the container,
• (t) The type of candies in the bowl.   Jelly Beans are the default, but the user can choose any of the following candies:
  • Jelly Beans (Mini, Regular and Jumbo)
  • M&Ms (Plain and Peanut)
  • Gum Balls

Number of Candies: The calculator returns a good estimate on the number of candies in the container.  

For example, this is useful to guess how many jellybeans are in a quart mason jar.
