Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

16 rotations

500/32 = 15.625

15.625 rounded = 16

Therefore, the answer is 16 rotations.

Why:

500 and 32 are both given to you in distance. By divided 500 by 32 will give you how many times the shorter distance can fit into the longer distance. This will then give you the amount of rotations in the greater distance.

Once you have the answer, it asks for you to round to the nearest rotation. 15.625 rounds to 16 because 6 is in the tenths place. And we all know a number 5 or greater rounds up. So, 16 is the correct answer.
