Answer:

16 shirts and 48 ties

Explanation:

you start with 64 and divide it by 4 i got four cause it says that James had THREE times as many ties as shirts leaving him with leaving him with 3 groups of ties and 1 group of shirts . dividing 64 by 4 leaves you with 16 which is the amount of shirts he has and then you would multiply 16 by 3 to get the amount of ties he has.
