Round up to find the number of bags he needs to buy.
Jim wants to plant pansies in his new planter. How much potting soil should Jim buy? Round to the nearest centimeter.
Hint: The height is 100 cm and the diameter is 40 cm.
My teacher said to use a specific formula. Out of that formula I got 125,664, but I do not know how to label it. Please help. Also, If each bag contains 14,000cm3, how many bags will Jim have to buy?

For the number of bags I got 9. However I do not know how to label the number 125,664.
