Answer: the length of wood that he used for his project is 1/24 meters.

Explanation:

Kyle has a piece of wood that is 1/4 of a meter long. If he divides it into 12 equal parts, it means that the length if each part would be

(1/4)/12 = = 1/4 × 1/12 = 1/48 meters.

He uses 2 parts for his project. This means that the length of wood that he used for his project would be

1/48 × 2 = 2/48 = 1/24 meters

Converting to decimal, it becomes

0.042 meters
