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