Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Body weight = k x Water content
\n" ); document.write( "k = constant of proportionality
\n" ); document.write( "96 = k 64
\n" ); document.write( "k = 96/64
\n" ); document.write( "k = 1.5
\n" ); document.write( "Body weight = 1.5 Water content
\n" ); document.write( "60 = 1.5 Water content
\n" ); document.write( "Water content = 60/1.5
\n" ); document.write( "Water content = 40 kg.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
