Answer:

  • Minimum 6 trips

Explanation:

  • Miguel bought 17 bottles of beer at the market and wants to transfer them to his vehicle. If he can only transport 3 bottles at a time, what is the minimum number of trips he must make to carry all the bottles?

-----------------

The minimum number of trips is:

  • 17/3= 5 2/3 ≈ 6 rounded up

We considered 2/3 as the whole 1 because you can't make partial trips
