Answer:

Length of unpainted strip of each part of the road = 9 yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the road = 208 yard

When it is divided into 16 equal parts,

length of each part = $\frac{208}{16}$

= 13 yard

Mr.Ward paints 4 yard long strips in each part .That is he does not completely paint the part but paints only a small section of each part.

Length of unpainted strip of each part of the road = length of each strip - length of strip painted by Mr.Ward

Length of unpainted strip of each part of the road = 13 - 4

Length of unpainted strip of each part of the road = 9 yard

Answer:

In each part, unpainted strip is 9 yard long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total strip is of given length 208 yard long.

It is divided into 16 parts, so the length of each strip is,

$= \frac{208}{16} = 13$ yard .

Now it is given that, <em>Mr.Ward paints a 4-yard-long strip in each part,</em>

so the unpainted part of strip length is given by,

$13 - 4 = 9$ yard.

<em>Thus, the unpainted part of strip is 9 yard long.</em>
