(C) What should I put in cell D6 if h(q) rounds q up to the nearest multiple of 7.  (The function h takes 1-7 to 7.  It takes 8-14 to 14, etc.)

The function \( h(q) \) rounds \( q \) up to the nearest multiple of 7. In this case, since the function operates in intervals (e.g., 1-7 rounds up to 7, 8-14 rounds up to 14, etc.), the formula you need to input in **cell D6** should round any given value in **cell C6** up to the nearest multiple of 7.

To accomplish this in Excel, you can use the **CEILING** function, which rounds a number up to the nearest specified multiple. The formula would look like this:

\[
=CEILING(C6, 7)
\]

This formula rounds the value in **cell C6** up to the nearest multiple of 7.

Would you like any further clarifications?

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How does the **CEILING** function differ from **ROUND** or **FLOOR** in Excel?
2. What happens if the value in **C6** is already a multiple of 7?
3. How can you modify the formula if you want to round to a different multiple, like 5?
4. Can you create a custom function to replicate this behavior without using **CEILING**?
5. How would this formula change if you wanted to round **down** to the nearest multiple of 7?

**Tip:** The **MOD** function can help in finding the remainder of division if you want to explore rounding behaviors further!
