Question

A person weighs approximately 2 1/3 times their body weight on Jupiter. If a person weights 450 lbs on Jupiter, how much do they weigh on earth, to the nearest pound?

Answer 1

Create an equation where x equals the weight on Earth and y = equals weight on Jupiter.

x*7/3 = y

x*7/3 = 450

x = 450*3/7 = approx 193 pounds
