8 times. every spin gets you at least two feet. so for every one spin you’re gaining 2 feet. if you multiply 26 times 8 you should get 208. if you divide that by 2 you get 104. one more spin would get you 130 which is too much and one less would get you 114 which is too less. so your answer is 8 times
