Math problem

I'm sure It's quite simple but my brain is not working😭😢

How many packets of 12, 20"*20" panels do I need to cover a wall that is 46" wide, 83" high, 15" depth

Also I want to cover both sides of the wall

The formula is:

46 x 83 (width multiplied by height) = 3,818 sq inches - Multiply that by two (to cover both sides) = 7,636

83 x 15 (height multiplied by depth) = 1,245 sq inches - assuming one side here

For a total of 8,881 square inches

The packet has: 12 each 20 x 20 (400) = 4,800

That would be 1.85 packets, but you may need 3 packets, as you may have to cut off parts of the panels.
