for the holiday party marcus is making a five-layer torte which consist of 5-9 inch diameter cake layers with a cream topping on each layer. He knows that one recipe of cream will cover 60 square inches of cake. How many batches of the topping must he make to comlete his torte? ( use n=3.14 as an approximate value)

area of one layer
(pi) 4.5^2= 63.59 sq inches
area of five layersn5*63.59-317.93 sq in
the number of batches 317.93/60= 5.3 round to 6 batches
