 * 1. Let's Build a Graph with a Spreadsheet Using Our M&Ms**




 * 2. Let's Find Out Where M&Ms are Made (Google Earth)**

One of the plants where M&Ms are made is right here in New Jersey. It is located at:

800 High Street Hackettstown, NJ


 * 3. How Far Will Our M&Ms Take Us? (Google Earth)**

We first need to calculate the distance our M&Ms will take us based on the information below:

1 Red M&M = 20 Miles 1 Blue M&M = 25 Miles 1 Green M&M = 30 Miles 1 Brown M&M = 35 Miles 1 Yellow M&M = 40 Miles 1 Orange M&M = 45 Miles

If we have 4 red M&Ms, we could travel 80 miles. (4 red M&Ms x 20 miles = 80 miles)

If we have 3 blue M&Ms, we could travel 75 miles. (3 blue M&Ms x 25 miles = 75 miles)

If we have 5 green M&Ms, we could travel 150 miles. (5 green M&Ms x 30 miles = 150 miles)

If we have 2 brown M&Ms, we could travel 70 miles. (2 brown M&Ms x 35 miles = 70 miles)

If we have 4 yellow M&Ms, we could travel 160 miles. (4 yellow M&Ms x 40 miles = 160 miles)

If we have 3 orange M&Ms, we could travel 135 miles. (3 orange M&Ms x 45 miles = 135 miles)
