Question

Diego weighs 218 pounds and Ricardo weighs 181 pounds.

Diego is how many times as heavy as Ricardo?

Answer 1

Diego is 1.2 times as heavy as Ricardo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Weight of Diego = 218 pounds

Weight of Ricardo = 181 pounds

Let,

x be the number of times.

Diego's weight = Ricardo's weight * Number of times

$218=181x\\181x=218$

Dividing both sides by 181

$\frac{181x}{181}=\frac{218}{181}\\\\x=1.2$

Therefore;

Diego is 1.2 times as heavy as Ricardo.
