Answer:
15 strips.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of a kitchen wall = [tex]24\frac{2}{3}[/tex] feet
= [tex]\frac{74}{3}[/tex] feet
A border will be placed along the wall of the kitchen.
The lenth of the border in strips = [tex]1\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet = [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]
Therefore to find the number of strips of border are needed
= [tex]\frac{74}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{74}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{296}{21}[/tex]
= [tex]14\frac{2}{21}[/tex]
≈ 15 strips
15 strips of border are needed.
