A piece of wood 15.5 metres long is cut into two pieces One piece is four times as long as the other How long is each piece?

A 64m long rope is cut into 3 pieces The second piece is 3 times as long as the first pieceThe third piece is 4 times as long as the second piece What is the length of each piece?
Assume the first piece to be x met. Then the second = 3x and the third =12x . Together, x + 3x + 12x = 64 or 16x = 64 or x= 4 met. The three pieces, therefore, are 4m, 12m and 48 m
