Comment on Carrot

• balsoft@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  By “ratio of carrot to carrot skin” I mean “volume of carrot / volume of carrot skin”. Volume of carrot is ~ length³, while volume of carrot skin is approximately ~ length², assuming a similar shape of carrot, because the skin is a constant thickness (determined by your vegetable peeler). This basically means the bigger the carrot the less money you waste on carrot skin.

    The volume is length^3? Is the carrot a 10"x10"x10" cube?

        Understandable, have a nice day.

        I will point out that saying "approximately ~length^2" seems redundant, but that’s neither here nor there.

  Depends where the missing comma was ment to be.

    I don’t think there’s a comma needed there. And in any case, both of those mean the same thing.

      1. Higher carrot count, in relation to peel
      2. Higher difference between carrot and peel
