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 :

Number of pieces * shortage per piece

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.
