Translate the situation into mathematical language. You need not actually solve the problem.A piece of wire 46 feet long is to be cut into three pieces, the second piece 4 times as long as the first, and the third piece 4 times as long as the first. How should the wire be cut?

A. Let m be the length of the first piece of wire; m(4)(4) = 46
B. Let m be the length of the first piece of wire; m + 4m + 4m = 46
C. Let m be the length of the first piece of wire; 4m + 4m = 46
D. Let m be the length of the first piece of wire; m(4m)(4m) = 46
