Answer
Exam answer
(b) 8.0.
Explanation
Work from the inside out. Math.abs(-7.3) strips the sign, giving 7.3. Then Math.ceil(7.3) rounds UP to the next whole number, 8.0 — ceil never rounds to nearest, so even 7.1 would become 8.0. The answer keeps its decimal point because both methods return a double.
In words
8.0.
