Question

A person who weighs 120 pounds on earth would weigh just 20 pounds on the moon if your sneakers weigh 1 1/8 pounds on earth, how many ounces would they weigh on the moon?

Answer 1

If a person who weighs 120 pounds on Earth weighs 20 pounds on the moon, then the weight on the moon is about 1/6 of the weight on Earth. So, if the sneakers weigh 1 1/8 pounds on Earth, they would weigh about 3/4 of an ounce on the moon.
