Answer:  It breaks up into 864+216

Reason:

x = some positive real number

The ratio 4:1 scales up to 4x:1x, so we have two parts one is 4x and the other is 1x. Those two parts add up to 1080

4x+1x = 1080

5x = 1080

x = 1080/5

x = 216

We can then find 4x = 4*216 = 864

As a check: 864+216 = 1080, so the answer is confirmed.
