First of all let me assure you that this question is not my test or homework 
question. I'm trying to help my son out with this one and that's why I needed 
your help so I can explain it to him step by step.
A mole is worth 6.02x10^23 M&M's. All this question asks is that a Mole of 
regular M&M's would completely fill up how many Lake Eries taking into account 
that the volume of one lake is 116miles^3 (483km^3). Yes, there would be 
interspacial volume, but that does not have to be taken into account right now 
for my 10th grader, so don't worry about that. Thanks.
