<PRE><B>Question 131417</B>
SOLUTION - 
  Let the length of one board be x inches
  Therefore the length of other board is 4x (since one piece is 4 times the other)
              now sum of both pieces = 120
               x + 4x = 120

               5x = 120

               5x/5 = 120/5
 
               x = 24

     now 
             one piece ix x inches = 24 inches
             another piece is 4x = 4*24 = 96 inches
