Well, you really need to think on this one. The shorter piece can be four inches long. See, when you multiply four by two, you get eight. And when you add four and eight together, you get twelve inches, which is one foot.

4 ÷ 3 <span>≈ 1.3

Each student will paint 1.3 feet, or 1 foot and 4 inches of the poster.</span>
