Here are the calculations for the volume of the biscuits:

1. Calculate the volume of 1 biscuit, to one whole number.

  1. Determine the radius of the biscuit.

    The biscuit is shaped like a cylinder with a diameter of 80 mm80 \text{ mm}.
    The radius rr is half of the diameter.

    r=diameter2=80 mm2=40 mmr = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{80 \text{ mm}}{2} = 40 \text{ mm}
  2. Calculate the volume of one cylindrical biscuit.

    The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h.
    Given r=40 mmr = 40 \text{ mm} and height h=7 mmh = 7 \text{ mm}.

    V1=π(40 mm)2(7 mm)V_1 = \pi (40 \text{ mm})^2 (7 \text{ mm}) V1=π(1600 mm2)(7 mm)V_1 = \pi (1600 \text{ mm}^2) (7 \text{ mm}) V1=11200π mm3V_1 = 11200 \pi \text{ mm}^3

    Using π≈3.14159\pi \approx 3.14159:

    V1≈11200×3.14159 mm3V_1 \approx 11200 \times 3.14159 \text{ mm}^3 V1≈35185.84 mm3V_1 \approx 35185.84 \text{ mm}^3
  3. Round the volume to one whole number.

    V1≈35186 mm3V_1 \approx 35186 \text{ mm}^3

    The volume of 1 biscuit is 35186 mm3\boxed{\text{35186 mm}^3}.

    2. Calculate the volume of 50 biscuits.

  4. Multiply the volume of one biscuit by 50.

    V50=50×V1V_{50} = 50 \times V_1 V50=50×35186 mm3V_{50} = 50 \times 35186 \text{ mm}^3 V50=1759300 mm3V_{50} = 1759300 \text{ mm}^3

    The volume of 50 biscuits is 1759300 mm3\boxed{\text{1759300 mm}^3}.

    3. Would a container with a volume of 700 cm³ hold the biscuits? Explain.

  5. Convert the total volume of 50 biscuits from mm³ to cm³.

    We know that 1 cm=10 mm1 \text{ cm} = 10 \text{ mm}, so 1 cm3=(10 mm)3=1000 mm31 \text{ cm}^3 = (10 \text{ mm})^3 = 1000 \text{ mm}^3.

    V50=1759300 mm31000 mm3/cm3V_{50} = \frac{1759300 \text{ mm}^3}{1000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{cm}^3} V50=1759.3 cm3V_{50} = 1759.3 \text{ cm}^3
  6. Compare the total volume of biscuits with the container's volume.

    The total volume of 50 biscuits is 1759.3 cm31759.3 \text{ cm}^3.
    The container's volume is 700 cm3700 \text{ cm}^3.
    Since 1759.3 cm3>700 cm31759.3 \text{ cm}^3 > 700 \text{ cm}^3, the container would not be able to hold all 50 biscuits.

    The container would not hold the biscuits\boxed{\text{not hold the biscuits}}. This is because the total volume of 50 biscuits (1759.3 cm31759.3 \text{ cm}^3) is greater than the container's volume (700 cm3700 \text{ cm}^3).
