Not sure what the decimals would be when translated into inches, as i'm in the UK and am just getting to grips with inches rather than cm!
Hope this helps!
i got got the same result. If you divide 7" by 2.25" you get a ratio of 3.11. So if you want to keep the same length x width ratio, your 1.5" strips should be 4.67" (round up to 4 3/4") long and your 1.75" strips would be cut to 5.44" long (I would round up to 5 1/2"). Of course you would likely need to add more rows to get the overall size you want.
