Jim just beat you to it :(
Just to fully explain the answer:
If you take the circumference of circle B and flatten it out into a straight line and let circle A roll over it, circle A will make 1.5 revolutions to cross it. However, when it rotates around circle B, it's also rotating around its axis and therefore makes 1 more revolution, so the answer is 2.5 and not 1.5 as most people think.
