The lengths of the first, second and third piece are respectively 8 ft, 16 ft and 32 ft
<h3>How to solve Algebra word Problems?</h3>
Let the length of the first piece be x.
Let the length of the second piece be 2x
Let the length of the thrid piece be 4x
Since the total length of the piece is 56 ft, then we can say that;
x + 2x + 4x = 56
7x = 56
x = 56/7
x = 8 ft
Thus, length of first piece = 8 ft
Length of second piece = 2 * 8 = 16 ft
Length of third piece = 4 * 8 = 32 ft
Thus, the lengths of the first, second and third piece are respectively 8 ft, 16 ft and 32 ft
