A208-long road is divided into 16 parts of equal length. mr. ward paints a 4-meter-long strip in each part. how many total meters are not painted in the 208 meters of road?

Answer

Find out the how many total meters are not painted in the 208 meters of road .

To prove

Let us assume that the total meters are not painted in the 208 meters of road be x.

As given

A 208-long road is divided into 16 parts of equal length.

Each road length when divided into 16 equal parts = 13 meters

As given

Mr.Ward paints a 4-meter-long strip in each part.

Mr.Ward not paints  in each part =  13 - 4

                                                      = 9 meters

Thus

Total meters are not painted in the 208 meters of road = 9 × 16

                                                                                            = 144 meters

Therefore 144 meters are not painted in the 208 meters of road .
