No. All the lengths will not be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Martha wants to make four necklaces that are the same length. She asked her friends to cut the string for the necklaces 15 paper clips long.

We are asked whether all the four lengths will be of the same length or not.

If Martha uses the paper clips to measure the lengths of the cut pieces of strings, then all the lengths will not be the same because 15 is not divisible by 4.

The lengths maybe 4, 4, 4, and 3 paper clips of lengths. (Answer)
