Question

The weights of two bags are in the ratio $7:6$. If the total weight of the both bags is $91kg$, find the weight of each bag.

Answer 1

Total weight of the bag $=$$91kg$

Ratio of weights of two bags $=$$7:6$

Weight of first bag $=$$\frac{7}{7+6}\times 91=49kg$

Weight of second bag $=$$\frac{6}{7+6}\times 91=42kg$

Hence, weight of each bag is $49kg$ and $42kg$ respectively.
