    Total length = length covered by red beads + length covered by blue beads + length covered by white beads

    16 inches = 4 1/4 inches + 8 3/8 inches + x

    16 inches = 17/4 + 67/8 + x

    16 inches = (34+67) / 8 + x

    16 inches = 101/8 + x

    x = 16 - 12 5/8 inches

    x = 3 3/8 inches.

    3 3/8 inches are filled with white beads.
