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
