Answer:

15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

$x$ is the number of hours that Liam volunteered in the first month

The next month he volunteered $1\dfrac{2}{3}$ times the time he volunteered the first month.

Total time he volunteered in the two months is 40 hours so

$x+1\dfrac{2}{3}x=40\\\Rightarrow x+\dfrac{5}{3}x=40\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x+5x}{3}=40\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{40\times 3}{8}\\\Rightarrow x=15$

Time he volunteered in the first month is 15 hours.
