Answer:

Shorter piece length is 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's marked first piece with x and second with y

x + y = 42

Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4

From this proportion we get

x = 3 c  and y = 4 c   where c is coefficient of proportionality

when we replace this in initial equation we get

3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6    c = 6

x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches  and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches

shorter piece is x = 18 inches

God with you!!!
