Here's what I got.
Explanation:
In order to be able to calculate the mole fraction of each component in the mixture, you will have to convert the masses given to you to moles.
To do that, use the molar mass of oxygen gas, nitrogen gas, and hydrogen gas, respectively

The total number of moles present in the mixture will be

So, to get the mole fraction of a component
i
of the mixture, all you have to do is divide the number of moles of that component by the total number of moles present.

You will have

Now, you could calculate the partial pressure of each gas by using the ideal gas law equation three times, once for every gas.
P
V
=
n
R
T
However, a simpler approach would be to use the ideal gas law equation once to find the total pressure exerted by the mixture, then use the mole fractions of the gases to find their respective partial pressure - think Raoult's Law.
So, the pressure exerted by the mixture will be
P
