Assume 100g of H2 and 100g of CH4.
Moles of H2=m/Mwt = 100/2 = 50 moles,
Moles ofCH4=100/16 = 6.25 moles.
Total moles = 56.25 moles.
mole fraction of H2 y = 50/56.25 = 0.8 = 8/9.
Dalton's low p = y*P.
At atmospheric pressuer 1atm.
p=8/9 * 1 = 8/9 atm.

Total Pressure * mole fraction in gas phase= partial Pressure.

Suppose equal mass is considered to be 16 g each, so moles me hydrogen is 8 and methane is 1, total moles are 8+1=9, mole fraction of hydrogen is 8/9.

We take in molar form.

By Henry law;
P.H2 = {X.H}P
PH2/P = X.H
Where PH2 is partial pressure of H2 and P is the total pressure of the container.
X.H is mole fraction of hydrogen.
The partial pressure of hydrogen in this container expressed as the fraction of total pressure .
P.H2 = {X.H}P
PH2/P = X.H
Where PH2 is partial pressure of H2 and P is the total pressure of the container.
X.H is mole fraction of hydrogen.
The partial pressure of hydrogen in this container expressed as the fraction of total pressure .

Mole fraction = Pressure fraction = Volume fraction.

I didn't understood here the question is fraction of total pressure but you given the answer in terms of mole fraction.
