Step 1 If each small part is 35 cm, and there are three of those, multiply (35)(3) or add 35+35+35 you get 105 you now multiply (105)(4) or add 105+105+105+105 because that piece was one of four pieces you get 420cm (don&#039;t forget to add the unit!) To check, divide 420 divided up into 4 pieces (4204)  you get 105 that piece is then cut up into 3 smaller pieces, so divide 105 by 3 (1053) you get 35
