6/8 = 0.75 ft or 0.75*12 = 9 inches.
If you let x equal the short piece then 3x would be the long piece. x + 3x = 24 4x = 24 x = 6 3x = 18 So, the shorter piece would be 6 ft. and the longer piece would be 18 ft.
equal the density of any other piece, assuming that the original cube was made of the same uniform substance.
They could by 1'x8' strips or 2'x4' rectangles.
If you were to divide something like apples, time, energy, soda crackers, or a pail of worms into 3 equal pieces, each piece would be one third. Any two pieces would be two thirds.
You would have six, obviously!
Cut each sandwich into three equal pieces and give each person one piece.

While many shapes can be divided into more than four equal pieces, the most common shape with that characteristic would be a pentagon, which has five equal pieces, or fifths. Another shape that would be divided into a different amount of equal pieces would be a triangle, with three equal pieces or thirs. And a third would be a hexagon, with six equal pieces, or sixths.
each piece would weigh one quarter of a pound

many pieces
If you cut a line into two pieces it would be a half.
When something is cut into equal pieces, (think of a pie), the pieces are larger the fewer pieces there are. If the pie is cut in half, that is an entire HALF of the pie one has to eat. But if the pie is cut into three equal pieces, there are more pieces, but they are smaller. So, one fourth of the pie would be even smaller because you are getting ONE piece of a pie that is cut into FOUR pieces. The bottom number of the fraction is how many equal sized pieces there are, and the top number is how many you are getting.
