Answer:

  • 3 packages of cups
  • 4 packages of napkins

Step-by-step explanation:

You need at least enough for 60, so any requirement for a partial package means you need to buy another whole package. The "ceiling" function gives the next higher integer for a non-integer value.

  cups = ceiling((60 cups)/(24 cups/package)) = ceiling(2.5) packages

  = 3 packages

__

  napkins = ceiling((60 napkins)/(18 napkins/package))

  = ceiling(3 1/3) packages = 4 packages

Approximate pi plus the square root of 70 to the nearest hundredth.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

  11.51

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, a calculator is required to evaluate the irrational sum ...

  π + √70

<h3>Calculator result</h3>

The result from a readily-available online calculator is shown in the attachment.

  π + √70 ≈ 11.51

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

You have probably memorized pi to several digits: 3.1416. To obtain the required estimate means you need to approximate √70 to about the same level of precision.

For a number n = a² +b, the square root can be approximated by the continued fraction ...

  √n ≈ a +b/(2a +b/(2a +...))

Effectively, the root (r) can be iterated from the recursive formula ...

  r' = a +b/(a +r)

For √70, we have 70 = 8² +6   ⇒   a=8, b=6

If the initial approximation of the root is r0≈a=8, then a couple of iterations gives ...

  r1 = 8 + 6/(8 +r0) = 8 + 6/(8 +8) = 8 3/8

  r2 = 8 + 6/(8 +r1) = 8 +6/(8 +8 3/8) = 8 48/131

This has sufficient accuracy for the purpose. The decimal equivalent of the sum then becomes ...

  3.1416 +8.3664 = 11.5080 ≈ 11.51
