How many peas can go in one glass? This question is asked by fans of riddles with a trick.
Can peas walk?
In this case, the word “enter” is played out, which we use both in the meaning of “walk, move,” and in the sense of “fit in”. So the answer to the cheerful question of how many peas can go into one glass is: not one, because the peas do not go.
However, the pranksters offer other answers: exactly one glass. Or - how much comes in, the same goes. They may even advise to consult with Cinderella on this issue.
The catch can also be in a small detail, if the riddle sounds like this: how many peas can go into one glass if it is empty? Answer: only one pea will fit there, all subsequent ones will no longer fall into an empty glass.
But seriously ...
Joking as a joke, but how do you know how many peas will go into a glass (that is, fit in it) if you really need to know their weight, quantity or volume? There are several ways to find out.
You can lay the fruits on the bottom of the glass, count them and figure out how many such layers will be in the glass. Then you need to multiply the number of peas counted by the number of possible layers.
Another way to calculate how many peas can go into one glass involves using cubic values. Say, the volume of one dry fruit is approximately 530 cubic millimeters, and the volume of a glass is 200 ml, that is, 200,000 millimeters per cube (since 1 ml is equal to 1000 cubic millimeters). Dividing the volume of the glass by the volume of the pea, we get the number of fruits that fit in one glass - about 377 peas. If we are talking about fresh fruits, it must be taken into account that their volume can be much larger than that of dry ones. Then the number of peas in a glass will decrease significantly.
If you are preparing a pea dish, and you need to find out how many grams of the product can be poured into the indicated container, use the table of measures and weights. She, in particular, notifies that in a faceted glass with a volume of 200 ml fits about 200 grams of peeled peas. In the old days they would say that this is half a pound of peas, because a whole pound is equal to 400 grams.
