Answer:

9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

THE QUESTION ABOVE ISN'T COMPLETE THEN I FIND THE SAME QUESTION WITH JUST CHANGE IN VALUES. CHECK IT BELOW;

A 208-yard-long road is divided into 16 parts of equal length. Mr. Ward paints a 4-yard-long strip in each part. How long is the unpainted strip of each part of the road?

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a 208-yard-long road is been parted into into 16 parts and they all have equal length.

Then we can determine the Length of each part as

(208-yard-long road/16 parts )

= 13

Then each part has a length of 13 yards

From the question, we know that 4-yard-long strip was painted in each part by Mr. Ward. Which means to determine the

unpainted strip of each part, we are going to use the expresion below.

(Length of each strip - length of painted strip)

= (13 yards - 4-yard-long strip )

= 9 yards

Therefore, the length of unpainted strip of each part of the road is 9 yards
