Answer:

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

For studs 16" O.C., Chalberg will need 9: one at the beginning of each of the 16" spaces in the 96" width of the wall, and one at the end. That's a total of 6+1 = 7 studs.

The top and bottom edges of the wall are each 8', so will require 1 more board each.

The total number of boards Chalberg needs is 9.
