Two candles are the same length and are lit at the same time. Each burns at a steady rate. The first candle burns 25\dfrac{2}{5} of its length in 1131\tfrac{1}{3} hours. The second candle burns 38\dfrac{3}{8} of its length in 34\dfrac{3}{4} of an hour. When one candle has burned out completely, what fraction of the other candle is still left?
