Bulletin board

Tripp and Paul are using yellow craft paper to cover a bulletin board. The board is 11 feet wide and 7 feet tall. The craft paper comes in a roll that is 1 yard wide. They can roll it out and cut it to any length, but the paper will always be 1 yard wide. Draw and label on the bulletin board how Tripp and Paul can cover the bulletin board.

Correct answer:

n =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=11\text{ft} \\ b=7\text{ft} \\ x=1\text{yd}\to \text{ft}=1\cdot 3\text{ft}=3\text{ft} \\ y=b=7\text{ft} \\ n=\lfloor a/x\rfloor =\lfloor 11/3\rfloor =3 \end{gathered}$$
