Step-by-step explanation:

here u get the solution

Answer 2

Answer:

24 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x and y:

Let the first part be x

Let the second part y

Find x in term of y:

1/4 x = 3/8y

x = (3/8 x 4)y

x = 3/2 y

Find the ratio of x and y:

x : y =3/2 : 1

x : y = 3 : 2

Divide the 40 into the 2 parts:

2 + 3 = 5 units

5 units = 40

1 unit = 40 ÷ 5 = 8

Find x and y:

x = 3 parts

x = 3 x 8 = 24

y = 2 parts

y = 2 x 8 = 16

Answer: The 2 parts are 24 and 16
