Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question worth knowing how to do. It is prime candidate for a test question.

Equation

Let the unit be x

therefore

4x + 5x + 6x = 45

Solution

15x = 45

x = 45/15

x = 3

The shortest piece is 4*3 = 12

The middle piece = 5*3   = 15

The longest piece = 6*3 = 18

Total                                    45

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

So 4:5:6 = 45

4+5+6 = 15

45/15 = 3

Since 4 is the smallest, 4*3 = 12.

Hope this works!

Ksenya-84 [330]
I believe you may have the order incorrect. If we were looking at g(f(x)) the answer would be 47. We would get this by sticking the 3 in for x in f(x) and solving, which would give us 48. We would then stick that answer in for x in the g(x), giving us 47. 

In its current order the answer would be 28.
