Since we know that he ate 1/4 pound one time, and 1/6 another time, we have to add up the fractions.
1/4+1/6
LCM of 4 and 6 = 12
3/12 + 2/12
Add the numerators:
5/12
So, he ate 5/12 of a pound of bars in both breaks.
Hope this helps!

The parallel lines divide the triangle sides proportionally.
x/40 = 15/24
x = 40(15/24) . . . . multiply by 40
x = 25
