22/7 = 3.142857...

Let's see if we can beat this using a fraction with 113 as its denominator.

-------

3 x 120 = 360

-------

So, let's try out x = 360:

360/113 = 3.185.... (Too high)

How about x=350:

350/113 = 3.097... (Too low)

Let's try out x = 355:

355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)

--------

Let's now compare 22/7 and 355/113 to pi:

22/7 = 3.142857...

355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)

π = 3.141592654

-------

As we can see, 355/113 provides us with a better approximation of π. This means that x=355.

You read 50 pages in an hour your sister reads 40 pages in an hour how many more pages did you read than your sister reads in 1/
Elena-2011 [213]

To start to figure this problem out, we can first figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister.


50 - 40 = 10, so you read 10 more pages in 1 hour.


Now we have to figure out how much more you would read in 1/2 an hour. Since 1/2 an hour is 1/2 of an hour, we can divide 10 by 2 to figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister. 10 divided by 2 is 5, so you read 5 more pages every half hour.
