    Answer=7:13

    Kenny's Weight*6/7=Melvin's Weight

    So, for example, if Melvin's weigh was 7 ...

    Kenny's Weight*6/7=7

    divide both sides by 6/7

    Kenny Weight=6

    So we can say that Melvin's weight to Kenny's weight is 7:6

    The boys total weights would be ...

    7+6=13

    So Melvin's weight over the total weight of the two boys is:

    7:13
