first piece is 18 inces second is 22 inches third is 24 inches
8 feet 6 inches = 102 inches. If the three pieces cut are equal in length then each would be (102/3) = 34 inches long (not accounting for material wasted in the cutting process).
x the length of the shorter piece 3·x the length of the longer piece x + 3·x the length of the whole board = 4·x = 76" x = 76" / 4 = 19.
One half is greater. If some had 100 dollars and they said you could have some of it, would you rather get 50 dollars or 33 dollars and some change? One half is when the whole piece is divided into two pieces - 1/2 + 1/2 =1 One third is when the whole piece is divided into three pieces - 1/3+1/3+1/3 = 1 So, if you divide something into 2 pieces the pieces will be bigger than if you divide something into 3 pieces.
Write an equation and solve it. Call the length of the shorter piece "x", in this case, the longer piece is "3x". The sum of the two is equal to 116 inches.

Three fifths of a piece.
I think 9 and 3... no, its 5 and 7.
Oh, what a happy little problem we have here! If we let the length of the shorter piece be x inches, then the longer piece would be 3x inches. Since the total length is 80 inches, we can set up the equation x + 3x = 80 and solve for x. The shorter piece is 20 inches long and the longer piece is 60 inches long. It's just that easy!

Divide centimeters by 2.54 (3 / 2.54 = 1.18 inches).
-- Cut the whole thing into three identical pieces. -- Each piece is one third of the whole thing. -- If the whole thing is a number, divide the number by 3 to find one third of it.
