divide 120 into two parts such that when one is divided by 4 and 5, the sum of quotients is 28.

x/4 + (120-x)/5 = 28
times 20 , the LCD
5x + 4(120-x) = 560
5x + 480 - 4x = 560
x = 80

so we split them up as 80 and 40 , with the 80 being divided by 4 and the 40 divided by 5

check:
80/4 + 40/5 = 20+8 = 28
