Answer:

It depends on how many equal pieces you need. If you need two pieces, each would be 16ft.

3? 10.6666666667ft.

4? 8ft.

Explanation:

Depending on how many on how many equal pieces you want, you would divide 32 by that number. Or you could use this equation:

(X is how many pieces you want)

32 ÷ x = pieces
