Iteration - Maths Question attached

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First I will try 50. I got 127,550, so that was way too big.

Let me try a smaller number. How about 5. I got 155, so that was a bit too small.

Now I'll try 20. I got 8420. Looks like the number is between 5 and 20.

How about 7. I got 399.

Let me try 8. I got 584! That's really close. It's just a little too big.

I tried 7.5, and got 485.624. So close! Just a little higher.

Putting in 7.8 yields 543.192! That's our answer.
