Susan Mcconnell · Answer 1

I think the answer is 4 feet. First I added the 12 and 16 feet then figured out that you can divide 28/4 evenly so The answer should be 4 Feet.

Hugh Byrd · Answer 2

12 + 16 = 28.

If you divide 28 by 4, you get seven.

You can have 7 pieces of yarn, which are all the greatest length of 4 feet each.

Have a great day!
