Question

The gravitational force on the earth is six times greater than on the moon. This means objects weigh six times as much on earth as they do on the moon. Write an algebraic expression for the weight of an object on earth if its weight on the moon is m.

Answer 1

y=6x

Explanation:

let y be the weight of an object on the earth

let x be the weight of the same object on the moon

Since the weight of an object on earth is 6 times greater than the same thing on the moon, You must multiply the weight of something on the moon by six.
