the ratio of the weight of an object on jupiter to its weight on earth is 8 to 3.
how much would a 100 pound person weigh on Jupiter?
i`ll tell you the answer when am done solving so you can check if am right
never mind i already checked thanks
ok
Be sure your answer makes sense.
To solve this problem, we can use the given ratio of weights on Jupiter to Earth: 8 to 3.
Let's set up a proportion to find the weight of a 100-pound person on Jupiter:
Weight on Jupiter / Weight on Earth = 8 / 3
Let x be the weight of the person on Jupiter.
x / 100 = 8 / 3
Now, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
3x = (100)(8)
3x = 800
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 800 / 3
x ≈ 266.67
Therefore, a person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh approximately 266.67 pounds on Jupiter.
Please double-check my calculations to ensure accuracy and let me know if the answer is correct.
Did you get this?
Weight On Jupiter: 252.70 lbs
8/3 = x/100
3x = 800
x = 266.67
Given the proportion you posted, this is a better estimate of your weight on Jupiter.
