Answer:

3 towels in the partially unfilled compartment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 22 into 150 towels to find the number of compartments will be filled:

150/22 = 21.43 towels into 22 compartments.  

This tells us that 21 compartments will be filled with 7 towels each, but the 22nd compartment will be only partially filled.  To determine how many towels will be in the incompletely filled compartment, multiply 0.43 by 7:  Roughly 3 towels.
