Answer 2

24 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

let's assume two part be x and (40 - x)

According to Question,

$x\dfrac{1}{4} = (40 - x) \dfrac{3}{8}$

$x= \dfrac{3(40 - x)}{2}$

$2 \times x = 120 - 3x$

$2x + 3x = 120$

$5x = 120$

$\cancel{5}x= \cancel{120}$

$x = 24$

Hence one part is 24 and other is (40 - 24) = 16 .
