Answer:

1.05

Explanation:

The relative errors are ...

  • 1 : -4.5%
  • 1.03 : -1.6%
  • 1.05 : +0.3%
  • 1.07 : +2.2%

Of these choices, the best approximation is 1.05.

_____

A very good rational approximation of π is 355/113, which has a relative error of about 0.0000085%. This makes 355/339 a good approximation of π/3.

The relative error in the value n is ...

(3n/π -1) × 100%
