Let Adam's weight be represented as \( A \) and John's weight as \( J \).
Given the ratio is 6:5, we have:
\frac{A}{J} = \frac{6}{5}
We know Adam's weight \( A = 48 \, \text{KG} \).
So substitute \( A \) in the ratio:
\frac{48}{J} = \frac{6}{5}
By cross-multiplying:
6J = 5 \times 48
6J = 240
Now, solve for \( J \):
J = \frac{240}{6}
J = 40 \, \text{KG}
Therefore, John's weight is 40 \text{ KG}.
