Question

John weights 65.7 kg. If he reduces his weight in the ratio 5 : 4, find his reduced weight.

Answer 1

Answer:

Reduced weight = 52.56 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

John weight = 65.7 kg

Ratio of john weight before and after reducing weight is 5 : 4

Let 5x be the previous weight 4x be the reduced weight.

John weight = 65.7 kg

⇒ 5x = 65.7

x=65.7/5

⇒ x = 13.14

Reduced weight = 4x

                           = 4 × 13.14

                           = 52.56

Reduced weight = 52.56 kg
