a wall is 7.56 m long. Vertical strips of equal width are to be painted on this wall. How many strips can be painted if the width of each strip is 0.3 m?

To find out how many vertical strips of equal width can be painted on the wall, we can divide the total length of the wall by the width of each strip.

Given:
- Length of the wall = 7.56 m
- Width of each strip = 0.3 m

The number of strips, \( N \), is calculated as:

\[
N = \frac{\text{Length of the wall}}{\text{Width of each strip}} = \frac{7.56}{0.3}
\]

Now, let's calculate:

\[
N = \frac{7.56}{0.3} = 25.2
\]

Since the number of strips must be a whole number, you can paint **25 strips** of width 0.3 m on the 7.56 m long wall, with a small portion of the wall remaining unpainted (0.06 m).

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are some related questions:
1. How much of the wall will remain unpainted?
2. What if the width of each strip was 0.25 m?
3. How many strips can be painted if the wall length was increased to 8 m?
4. How would the calculation change if the width of the strip was 0.5 m?
5. How can we handle the remaining 0.06 m to ensure no part of the wall is left unpainted?

**Tip:** Always check if your result needs to be rounded for practical use, especially in real-world applications like painting.
