Trent, pam, and linda will work together to paint a poster that is 4 feet long Each student will paint an equal length of the poster how many feet of the poster length will each student paint?

The whole length of the poster is 4 feet. There are three people who will paint an equal length, so this means that we need to divide the 4 feet of the poster between 3 people.

4 : 3 ≈ 1.3

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