Question

A person who weighs 200 pounds on Earth would weigh about 32 pounds on the moon. Find the weight of a person on Earth who would weigh 15 pounds of the moon

Answer 1

Answer:

93.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the weight of a person on Earth:

$\frac{200}{32}$ = $\frac{x}{15}$

Cross multiply and solve for x

32x = 3000

x = 93.75

So, the person would weigh 93.75 pounds on Earth
