Oh, what a lovely problem to solve! Let's paint a happy little picture here. If we let the length of the first piece be x meters, the second piece would be 3x meters long, and the third piece would be 4 times that, which is 12x meters. Together, they add up to 64 meters, so we can set up the equation x + 3x + 12x = 64 to find the lengths of each piece.

To find out how many pieces of ribbon each 4.5 cm long can be cut from a length of 4.5 metres, first convert 4.5 metres to centimetres: 4.5 metres is 450 cm.
