Answer:

p is greater than or equal to 3 (p being the length of each 4 pieces)

Explanation:

Since 20 ft is cut from a strip that is AT LEAST 32 ft you do; 32-20=12
Then there are 4 pieces with equal length so you do 12/4=3
Since the strip is AT LEAST 32 feet then the answer could be greater than 3 because 20 could be subtracted from a greater number.

32-20=12
12/4=3
p>_3
