Answer:

32 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find how many inches of tape is equivalent to 2 yards

1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches

2 yards = 36*2 inches = 72 inches

Now since Felix's group used 4 inches of tape for each of the 10 newspapers then they used...

4*10 inches=40 inches

We subtract 40 from 72 to get...

72-40=32

Felix's group had 32 inches of tape left.
