Answer: The length will be 44 inches long.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of sheet of paper = 11 inches

Width of sheet of paper is given by


8(1)/(2)\ inches=(17)/(2)\ inches

According to question, he lays the long edge of the paper along the long edge of the frame several times and finds the frame is 4 papers long.

Since the long edge = 11 inches

So, its length becomes


4* 11\\\\=44\ inches

Hence, the length will be 44 inches long.
