Answer:

The homeowner will require 9 strips of wallpaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking "how many 20 inches fit into 15 feet?".

We know that

1  foot  = 12 inches;

therefore, 15 feet will be

15 ft * 12 in/ft  = 180 in.

Now, the number of 20 inches wallpaper strips that will fit into 180 in long wall will be

180 in/ 20 in  = 9

Therefore, the homeowner will require 9 strips of wallpaper.
