Question

Vince weighs 160 pounds, and his friend Nadir weighs 140 pounds. Nadir calculated that his weight on another planet would be about 56 lb. Approximately what would Vince weigh on the other planet?

Answer 1

Honestly, a person wouldn't know unless they knew what the Gravitational pull on the other planet was. But in this case, Vince would be approxematly 64 pounds on the other planet.

Explanation:

Answer 2

160/140 = x/56
cross multiply
(140)(x) = (160)(56)
140x = 8960
x = 8960/140
x = 64 lbs <== Vince's weight on the other planet
