Question

the ratio of meena"s weight to shalin"s weight is 5:7. how many times is shaslini heavier ta

han Meena?

Answer 1

Let Meena's weight be 5x and Shalini's weight be 7x.

So,

$\frac{\mathrm{Shalini}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{weight}}{\mathrm{Meena}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{Weight}}=\frac{7x}{5x}=1.4x$

So, Shalini is 1.4 times heavier than Meena.
