Question

Your weight on different planets is affected by gravity. An object that weights 150 pounds on Earth weighs only 56.55 pounds on Mars. The same object weighs only 24.9 pounds on Mars.

Question:

A. What percent of an object's Earth weight is its weight on Mars and on the Moon?

B. Suppose x represents an object's weight on Earth. Write two expressions: one that you can use to write the object's weight on the Moon.



PLEASE HELP DUE TMRW!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

A. Percentage weight on Mars = 37.7%

Percentage weight on Moon = 16.6%

B. Weight on Mars = 0.377x and

weight on Earth = 0.166x

Explanation:

A. Percentage weight on Mars =
`(Weight on Mars)/(Weight on Earch) (100)`

=
`(56.55)/(150) (100)`

= 37.7%

Percentage weight on Moon =
`(Weight on Moon)/(Weight on Earth) (100)`

`=(24.9)/(150) (100)`

= 16.6%

B. If x represents an object's weight on Earth, then its weight on Mars would be 37.7% of x.

So, weight on Mars = 0.377x

Also, weight on Moon would be 16.6% of x.

So, weight on Moon = 0.166x.
