Each piece is 20 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length pieces of the ribbon can be obtained by dividing the total length of ribbon by total number of pieces

Given

String length = 168 inches

Number of pieces = 6

So the length of each piece will be:

[tex]Length\ of\ each\ piece = \frac{Length\ of\ string}{Number\ of\ pieces}\\= \frac{168}{6}\\= 28\ inches[/tex]

Cutting 8 inches from each piece means that the length will be reduced 8 inches

[tex]Length\ after\ cutting\ 8\ inches = \ length\ of\ each\ piece - 8\\= 28-8\\=20\ inches[/tex]

Hence,

Each piece is 20 inches long.
