If 750 divided by 300 equals 2.5, rounding up gives how many loops?

If 750 divided by 300 equals 2.5, rounding up gives how many loops?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer: (B)

Rounding up to a whole unit is used when counting discrete items like loops, because a partial loop isn’t usable—you need full loops. Here, 750 divided by 300 equals 2.5, and since you can’t have half a loop, you must have enough to complete 3 full loops. So the correct count is 3 loops. The other numbers would either underestimate (2) or overestimate (4 or 5) the required number.
