Answer:

The answer to your question is:  first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total length = 24 inches

first piece = x in

second piece = 2x

third piece = 3x

Equation

               x + 2x + 3x = 24

               6x = 24

               x = 24/6

               x = 4               length of the first piece

second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches

third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches
