You're working for a telecom cable installation company that's running the network wiring for a large office building. Your boss notices that there is a partial box of Category 5e cable left over from the job. It contains 365 feet of cable. He suggests that you make it into 15-foot patch cables. How many cables will you be able to make? Your answer should be rounded down to the nearest whole number, since a cable shorter than 15 feet is not desired.
