Final answer:

To round 73/5 to the nearest whole number, divide to get 14.6 and round up since the decimal is greater than 5, resulting in a rounded value of 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

To round the fraction 73/5 to the nearest whole number, first divide 73 by 5 to get the decimal form. The result is 14.6. When rounding a number, if the digit after the decimal is 5 or greater, you round up. If it is less than 5, you round down. Since the digit after the decimal in 14.6 is a 6, which is greater than 5, we round up to get 15 as the rounded whole number.
