J/K = 2/3
3J = 2K, or 9J = 6K
K/L = 5/3
3K = 5L. or 6K = 10L
Therefore 9J = 6K = 10L
J/L = 10/9

the total number of units in the first ratio is 5 (2 + 3)
The total number of units in the second ratiuo is 8 (5+3)
The lowest common multiple of 5 and 8 is 40.
All the units can be expressed so that the totals are 40
2:3 becomes 16 : 24
5:3 becomes 25 :15
therefore jerrys mass to lionels mass is 16:15

10:9
I know there's an algebraic way of figuring it out, but I was lazy so I did this.
Jerry's mass=100, then Kiran's mass=150
Kiran's mass=150, then Lione's mass=90
Ratio of Jerry's mass to Lione's mass= 100:90, or 10:9.

If it is between three people lets say Jerry has x percent of total. Kiran will than have 1.5x of total. lion will have 0.6 of 1.5x or 0.9x of total.
ratio of Jerry's mass to Lione's mass is x:0.9x i.e 1:0.9 or
10:9 Answer!

J/K = 2/3 ; K/L = 5/3 K = 5L/3
J/5L/3 = 2/3
3J/5L = 2/3
J/L = 10/9
Jerry to Lione 10:9

J/K = 2/3
K/L = 5/3
J/k * K/L = 2/3 * 5/3 = 10/9
