    Total length of the board = 30 inch

    Length of,

    - - First piece = x

    - - Second piece = 4x

    - - Third piece = 5x

    5x + 4x + x = 30

    10x = 30

    x = 3

    Therefore, the lengths of:

    - - First piece = 3 inch

    - - Second piece = 4*3 = 12 inch

    - - Third piece = 5*3 = 15 inch
