<h3>Answer: Short piece is 27 inches</h3>

Long piece is 81 inches

====================================================

Explanation:

x = length of short piece

3x = length of the longer piece (3 times longer)

x+3x = 4x = total length

total length = 108

So 4x = 108 is the equation which solves to x = 27 after dividing both sides by 4.

The short piece is x = 27 inches and the long piece is 3*x = 3*27 = 81 inches. Adding the two pieces gives 27+81 = 108 which helps confirm the answer.
