B Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern involves dividing by successively smaller numbers: 1799 ÷ 6 ≈ 299.83 (rounds to 299), 299 ÷ 5 = 59.8 (rounds to 60, but given as 59), 59 ÷ 4 = 14.75 (rounds to 15, but given as 14), 14 ÷ 3.5 = 4, 4 ÷ 3 ≈ 1.33 (given as 1.5). The exact mathematical relationship is approximate.
