Your Answer: No Answer Given
This question assesses your quantitative reasoning and problem-solving abilities by requiring you to apply division and understand the concept of rounding up in a practical context. John needs to transport 13 bottles of water and can carry only 3 at a time. To find the minimum number of trips, divide the total number of bottles by the number he can carry per trip: 13 / 3 = 4.33 trips. Since John cannot make a fraction of a trip, he must round up to the next whole number, which is 5. Therefore, the minimum number of trips John needs to make is 5.
This problem tests your ability to perform division with remainders and to apply logical reasoning to real-world situations, recognizing that partial trips are not feasible in this context.
