Ans ASAP!! But one request can u give IN pic WITH steps?. Plzlzlzlzlz?? 1rst one will be the BRAINLIEST.. But I want complete ans!

The parts are 24 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the two parts x and y. We can write the following system:

x + y = 40 -- Equation 1

1/4x = 3/8y -- Equation 2

2x = 3y -- Equation 3 (Multiply Equation 2 by 8 to get rid of denominators)

2x + 2y = 80 -- Equation 4 (Multiply Equation 1 by 2)

3y + 2y = 80 -- (Substitute 2x = 3y into Equation 4)

5y = 80 -- (3y + 2y = 5y)

y = 16 -- (Divide by 5)

x + 16 = 40 -- (Substitute y = 16 into Equation 1)

x = 24 -- (Subtract 16)

a: 1/6, j: 1/4

step-by-step explanation: you are welcome
