You have a bunch of circular milk bottles. The diameter of the outside of the bottles is 4 inches. You also have round bucket that has an inside diameter of one foot.
How many of the milk bottles can you place into the bucket?
Bottles to be place "right side up" in one layer and must remain whole (no breaking the bottle into little pieces and putting in the bucket).
area of bucket is 113.09724
area of bottle is 12.56636
so i make it you'll get 8 bottles in there.
1 in centre surrounded by 7 more.
or depending on bottle shape you might be able to place 4 more on top of those 8 plus another on top of those 4, giving you a total of 13.
so 8 or 13 are my answers.
ooops "in one layer"
so my answer is 8.

Answer: The whole bunch (all) the bottles may be placed in the bucket.
Rationale:
The outside diameter of "a bunch" of bottles is 4 inches.
The inside diameter of the round bucket is 12 inches.
Since 4 inches < 12 inches, the bunch of bottles will fit inside the bucket.
That was pretty straight-forward Tomk. Unusually so. I normally get blind-sided by one of your clever twists. This time, your clever twist was that there was no clever twist
It would hold just one gallon if it were 2-1/32" deep.
The bottles are most likely to be half gallon size. What I think of a "standard" half gallon bottle is slightly bigger around than 4 inches at the base and taper down toward the top. They are usually just under a foot tall.
i can't count.

So…I'm going to guess that the bucket in whole would be close to a gallon?
