Areesh is trying to build a box fort. He has 8 feet of duct tape.

The instructions are to use 22.5 inches of the tape to secure the roof of the box fort. Then, the remaining
tape should be cut into 5 1/4 - inch sections to be used on the walls of the box fort. Areesh will use all of the
duct tape as instructed.
Determine the number of 5 1/4 - inch sections of tape Areesh can cut.
