In the "I don't care about the practicalities of the real world" realm of pure mathematics, 1.5 goes into 12 eight times. But in the real world, when you cut something, you lose a little bit. In this case it is impossible to create a pair of wire cutters such that the amount of wire lost when a cut is made is exactly zero. Therefore, the real world answer to the question is pieces that are 1.5 feet long and one that is a little shorter.
