How many lengths do I need for an 14 meter edge when they come In 1800mm

To find out how many 1800 mm lengths you need to cover a 14-meter edge, follow these steps:

1. Convert 14 meters into millimeters:
   \[
   14 \, \text{m} = 14,000 \, \text{mm}
   \]

2. Divide the total length by the length of one piece (1800 mm):
   \[
   \frac{14,000 \, \text{mm}}{1800 \, \text{mm}} = 7.7777\ldots
   \]

Since you can't have a fraction of a piece, you'll need to round up to the nearest whole number, which means you'll need 8 pieces of 1800 mm to cover the 14-meter edge.

Here are 5 related questions:
1. What if the lengths were 2000 mm instead of 1800 mm?
2. How much excess material would you have after using 8 pieces?
3. How would the number of pieces change if the edge length was 20 meters?
4. Can you rearrange smaller lengths to minimize waste?
5. What would be the cost if each 1800 mm length costs $10?

**Tip:** Always round up when dealing with physical measurements like this, as you can't use partial pieces.
