Answer 2

Answer:

320:240:80.

Step-by-step explanation:

according to the problem,

The ratio difference is first part :Second part :Third part= 4:3:1

The ratio of the first part can be written as= $\frac{4}{4+3+1}$=$\frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$

In the same way, The ratio of the second part can be written as =$\frac{3}{8}$

and that of third part =$\frac{1}{8}$

Now comparing the ratios with the total amount we get

First part in pounds=$\frac{1}{2}*640$ =320 pounds.

Second part in pounds= $\frac{3}{8} * 640$ = 240 Pounds.

Third part in pounds = $\frac{1}{8}*640$ = 80 pounds.
