Help? Rounding Decimal Places

OK here is one where you will need to round up.

You have worked out that you need to take 20 litres of fuel. How much extra fuel will you need to take?

Fuel ÷ 3 = Extra Fuel
20 ÷ 3 = ?

What? This is what my calculator says:

20 ÷ 3 = 6.66666667

Don't worry, you need to round up to make it simpler.

Round up to the nearest whole number.

20 ÷ 3 = 6.66666667
= 7.66666667
= 7 litres

Take at least 7 litres of extra fuel.
