Let x be the length measure of the shortest piece of wood, and 3x the length measure of the other piece of wood. So we have:
x + 3x = 8
4x = 8 divide by 4 to both sides;
x = 2
The length measure of the shortest piece of wood is 2.
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.
I think 9 and 3... no, its 5 and 7.

Think of a cake cut in three pieces. Each piece is a third, so you would multiply 3 (pieces) times 4 (whole cakes) which equals 12
Three pieces out of five equal parts.
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.
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.
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!
The longer piece is 70 feet and the shorter piece is 56 feet. Three fifths of 70 is 42 and three fourths of 56 is 42.
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.
one fifth is 3.2m. so one three-fifths piece is 9.6m and the two-fifths piece is 5.4m

The bequest itself was a "congiarium" of gift to the people. The denomination was the aureus or gold piece. Caesar left three gold pieces to each citizen.The bequest itself was a "congiarium" of gift to the people. The denomination was the aureus or gold piece.

Depends on how many pieces you cut it into. It could be a single piece or dozens if you mince it.
No, because one piece of of a whole (total of three pieces), determines that the pieces are going to be bigger than if a whole had to be divided into 8 pieces. Three smaller pieces out of the whole of 8 just doesn't equal the same amount as one large piece of of 3.
