Add the numbers of the ratio:
4 + 6 + 8 = 18
The ratio of the shortest side to the perimeter is 4:18.
The actual perimeter is 126.
4:18 = x:126
18x = 4 * 126
18x = 504
x = 28
Answer: The shortest side measures 28 ft.
3 times 4 =12 8 times 4=32
So 12:32 is the same as 3:8
5:7 (pencils to pens)
7/12 chance that a pen from the first box will be selected.
4:4 (colour pencils to crayons)
4/8 = 1/2 chance that a crayon from the second box will be selected.
The probability of picking both:
7/12 * 1/2 = 8/24 = 1/3

Those are just numbers, that depend on the value of 'x'.
Answer:
28 1/32 ft pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you need to get both the fractions to have same denominator, to do this we will times 7/8 by 4 to get 28/32. After this we can start comparing them. From the 28/32 we can make 28 pieces because 28*1/32=28/32
