Answer 1

You mean find the elephant's weight on Pluto?

100:3 & 4100:x

4100/100 = 41
3*41 = 123

The ratio would become 4100:123 with the elephant's weight on Pluto as 123 pounds.

Answer 2

123 pound.

Explanation:

Given : the ratio of the weight of an object on earth to the weight of the same object on pluto is 100 to 3.

To find : if and elephants weighs 4100 pounds on earth, find the elephants weight on earth .

Solution : We have given

Ratio of the weight of an object on earth to the weight of the same object on pluto =
`(100)/(3)`

Let the weight of elephant on pluto = x

Then

`(100)/(3)` =
`(4100)/(x)`

On cross multiplication

100 * x = 4100 * 3.

On dividing both sides by 100

x = 41 * 3.

x = 123 pound

So, the weight of elephants weight on pluto is 123 pound.

Therefore, 123 pound.
