David cuts 4 pieces of wood for a birdhouse. When he is done, he realizes that each piece is 2 1/3 inches too short. How does the total length of the pieces compare to what their total length should have been? Explain or show how you got your answer

Total Length is 9 1/3 inches shorter Than the required length

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of wood pieces cut = 4

Each piece is 2 1/3 inches too short

Total shortage in length :

4 * 2 1/3

4 * 7/3

= 28/3 inches = 9 1/3 inches

Hence, The total length of the wood is 9 1/3 inches shorter than the actual or required length of the wood.
