Hmm I tried all of those things

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
cout << "Enter number of boys, then Enter Number of Girls" << endl;
int boys ;
int girls;
cin >> boys ;
cin >> girls;
cout << "Number of Advisors needed:" << endl;
int advisors;
advisors = ceil( (boys + girls)/10 ) ;
cout << advisors << endl;

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


float room ;
room = ceil(boys/4) + ceil(girls/4) + ceil(advisors/4) ;
cout << "Rooms nedeed:" << room << endl ;

but for some reason its not rounding up

I think it's because boys and girls are integers and it is doing integer division. It already drops the decimal before ceil can round it up. Either declare boys and girls as floats or convert them within the ceil function.
