Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st part of your answer be x , so the 2nd part will be 40-x . From the given information, we can write the equation: (1/4)x = (3/8) × (40-x) . We can simplify this into (1/4)x = (120-3x)/8 ; 8x = 480-12x ; 8x+12x = 480 ; 20x = 480 ; x = 480/20; x = 24

Therefore, the 1st part = 24

Plug this into your 40-x equation to get: 40 - 24 = 16
