The equivalent weight of a metal is double than that of oxygen.How many times is the weight of its oxide greater than the weight of metal ?Answer- 1.5

let x = weight of the oxygen.  Then 2x is the weight of the metal.  The oxide weight is x + 2x = 3x   3x / 2x is the oxide weight divided by the metal weight and this ration is 1.5.
