Final answer:
Gary will be able to place 15 stickers on the strip of paper since there are 15 segments of 114 inches each in a 1712 inch long strip.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking how many stickers Gary will place on a strip of paper that is 1712 inches long, given that a sticker will be placed every 114 inches. To find the number of stickers, you divide the total length of the paper by the spacing between the stickers.
Number of stickers = Total length of paper / Distance between stickers
Number of stickers = 1712 inches / 114 inches = 15 stickers
Therefore, Gary will be able to place 15 stickers along the strip of paper.
