Solution

First, we need to convert the length of the plastic wrap from feet to inches because the length used for each group of boxes is given in inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

So, 1500 feet = 1500 * 12 = 18000 inches

Next, we divide the total length of the plastic wrap by the length used for each group of boxes to find out how many groups of boxes can be bundled.

18000 inches / 900 inches = 20

So, 20 groups of boxes can be bundled using 1500 feet of the plastic wrap.
