A home meal delivery business delivers 34.5 pounds of food each day. The meal delivery company delivers meals that each weigh 24 ounces. The
meal delivery person loads up the car for the day. If they can pack up to 15
meals in the car, what is the minimum number of times they will refill the
car in 4 days? (1 lb. = 16 oz.) Fill in the blank. They need to fill the car
times in 4 days.

  7 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Each meal weighs (24 oz)/(16 oz/lb) = 1.5 lb. The number of meals to be delivered each day is ...

  (34.5 lb/day)/(1.5 lb/meal) = 23 meals/day

If we assume that meals can remain in the car from one day to the next, we only need to compute the total number of loads in 4 days.

  (23 meal/day)(4 days)/(15 meals/load) = 6 2/15 loads/4-days

That is loading the car 6 times is not enough. They need to load the car 7 times in 4 days.

If we assume that meals cannot remain in the car from one day to the next, then the car must be loaded 2 times per day. That's 8 times in 4 days.

The answer depends on your assumptions about loading the car.
