    The problem can be solved by figuring out what "1" represents on the ratio. 350 = 4x+2x+1x (because the problem is asking us to divide it, which means 4x, 2x, and 1x add up to 350).

    Then we can divide 350 by 4+2+1 (7) which equals 50.

    Each "1" is 50, so now we multiply 4 by 50, 2 by 50, and 1 by 50, which equals to 200:100:50. 200+100+50=350.

    Hello,

    Let's x then common factor of the parts.

    part 1: 4*x

    part 2: 2*x

    part 3: x

    So 4x+2x+x=350

    ==>7x=350

    ==>x=350/7

    ==>x=50

    Thus

    4x=4*50=200

    2x=2*50=100

    x=50

    350=200+100+50
