Answer: The piece of wood is 48 times long as the nail.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a piece of wood is 12 feet long and a nail is 3 inches long.

We are to find the number of times the piece of wood is as compared to the nail.

We have

12 feet = 12 × 12 = 144 inches.

Let n be the required number of times.

Then, we have

$n=(144)/(3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow n=48.$

Thus, the piece of wood is 48 times long as the nail.
