    First Sibling gets $4000

    Second Sibling gets $8000

    Third Sibling gets $12,000

    Fourth Sibling gets $16,000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A ratio of 2:4:6:8 means that

    First sibling gets 2 parts of total

    Second sibling gets 4 parts of total

    Third sibling gets 6 parts of total

    Fourth sibling gets 8 parts of total

    Now, how many parts are there?

    2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 20 parts

    Now, we divide the total inheritance ($40,000) in 20 parts, so each part is worth:

    40,000/20 = $2000

    Hence,

    First Sibling gets = 2000 * 2 = $4000

    Second Sibling gets = 2000 * 4 = $8000

    Third Sibling gets = 2000 * 6 = $12,000

    Fourth Sibling gets = 2000 * 8 = $16,000
