Answer:

the
(8)/(9) of piece a weight is 20g.

Explanation:

Let x be the fraction of weight for 20g..

and m be the weight of piece.

Given:

Two third piece a weights is
15g.

That means


(2)/(3)* m =15g


(2)/(3)* m =15


m=(15* 3)/(2)


m =(45)/(2)


m = 22.5

So, the weight of the piece is 22.5g.

Find what fraction for 20g

fraction of weight
* m = 20g

Put weight of piece in above equation.

fraction of weight
* 22.5 = 20

fraction of weight
=(20)/(22.5)

fraction of weight
=(8)/(9)

Therefore, the
(8)/(9) of piece a weight is 20g.
