The sum of two parts equal 90.

Also,

one part is 4 times the other part.

Let the normal part be "x", so the 4 times part would be "4x".

Their sum is 90, thus we can write:


x+4x=90

Solving for x (a part):


\begin{gathered} x+4x=90 \\ 5x=90 \\ x=(90)/(5) \\ x=18 \end{gathered}

The other part is:

90 - 18 = 72

So,

The two parts we separate 90 into are "18 and 72".
