Solution 2

The relative atomic mass of an element is the ratio between the average mass of its isotopes to 1/12th part of the mass of a carbon – 12 atoms. It is denoted as Ar.

Relative atomic mass = `" Average mass of the isotopes of the element"/(1"/"12^{"th"}" of the mass of one Carbon- 12 atom")`
