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}.
