Question

the ratio of the weights of two men is 1/2:1/3 if weight of the first person is 22 1/2kg then find the weight of the second person​

Answer 1

15 kg

Explanation:

We can multiply the given ratio units by 6 to make them be integers:

(1/2) : (1/3) = 3 : 2

Then we can see that the second man has 2/3 the weight of the first man.

(2/3)(22.5 kg) = 15 kg

The second person weighs 15 kg.
