It depends on a few factors.
The size of floppy disk and the size of the CD-ROM.
Floppy disks aren't use very much today, however the latest and most common generation of floppy disks was the 3.5 inch variety with a capacity of 1.44 megabytes of storage. There was a rare 2.88 capacity disk, however for this answer I will refer to the common 1.44MB disk.
CD-ROM's are typically 680 megabytes. There are some CDs that hold 700MB, but again the typical disk is 680MB. Mathematically, this yields 472 floppies per CD. Differences in file sizes and/or block space may shift this slightly.
It's safe to say that a CD can hold 450-470 floppies.

How do you insert 3.5 inch disk into apple computer that appears to only accept 5 inch?
The answer is probably "You don't". Macs have not supported 3.5 inch floppy discs for many years. If you need to use such a disc with a modern Mac then you will need to buy an external USB floppy disc drive. If you mean a 3 inch mini DVD then again you will need some form of external drive to use such a disc or an old Mac with a pop out drawer to hold the disc. If it is a disc from a camera then you can usually connect the camera to the Mac and read the disc from the camera. Full details of the type of disc and Mac would help.
