    A 1,900 inches roll of tape can seal 200 packages.

    Given:

    length of tape = 2.375 inches

    no. of tapes used in 1 package = 4

    total length of tape in a roll = 1900 inches

    We need to find the total length of tape used in 1 package

    2.375 inches * 4 pcs = 9.50 inches per package.

    We need to find the number of packages that 1 roll of tape can seal.

    1900 inches : 9.50 inches/package = 200 packages.
