Answer:

Part A is 7/16 of the whole
Part B is 9/16 of the whole

Solution:
Assuming there are no other parts,
the Whole = A + B is the denominator:
Whole = 14 + 18 = 32

Part A = 14 and Part B = 18 are numerators for each fraction.

The fractions are then:
14/32 and 18/32

Meaning:
Part A is 14/32 of the whole
Part B is 18/32 of the whole

Reducing the fractions, it is also true that:
Part A = 7/16 of the whole
Part B = 9/16 of the whole
