Answer:

The first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third one is 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the length of the 3 pieces, knowing that the total of the board is 40 inches, and that the second measures 3 times more than the first and the third measures 4 times more than the first, the following equation must be performed:

X + 3X + 4X = 40

8X = 40

X = 40/8

X = 5

Therefore, the first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third 20 inches.

Then divide that by the number or numbers. In this case it is 6.

53/6=8.833... So rounded=8.8

4, 7, 7, 9, 12, 14

Go to the middle number.

Since it is between 7 and 9, it is 7+9=16. 16/2=8

8 is the median
