Question

A homeowner plans to hang wallpaper on one wall of the bedroom that is 10ft long,if a strip of wall is 20 inches wide and strips are hung vertically,how many strips of wallpaper will the homeowner require

Answer 1

Answer: 6 strips

Explanation:

One foot is 12 inches. Convert the 10ft into inches, which equals 120 inches. Then to find how many 20" strips fit into that 120" area, divide 120 by 20 to get 6. You'll need 6 strips to cover the wall.

Answer 2

Convert 10 ft to inches by multiplying it by 12. That’s 120 inches. Divide this number by 20 inches per strip to get 6 strips needed.
