Greyson is planning to lay a brick driveway which will be made up of 84 rows of 14 bricks per row. He will also lay a backyard patio with 25 rows of 31 bricks per row. How many pallets of bricks should Greyson order if each pallet has 1000 bricks?
Using the ceiling function, we have..... [ 84 * 14 + 25 * 31] / 1000 = 1.951 .....so......we need 2 pallets
[The ceiling function rounds any non-integer answer up to the next integer ]
