A46 inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece and third piece is one in more than six times the length of the first piece find the length of the pieces

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
