Your weight on the moon is relative to your weight on Earth. Neil Armstrong weighed 360 lbs. in his moon gear while on Earth, but on the moon he only weighed 60 lbs. What is the ratio of the Earth weight to the moon weight? How much would you weigh (approximately) on the moon?
360/60 = 6
To find the ratio of the Earth weight to the moon weight, we can divide the weight on Earth by the weight on the moon. In this case, the Earth weight is 360 lbs and the moon weight is 60 lbs.
Ratio = Earth weight / Moon weight
Ratio = 360 lbs / 60 lbs
Ratio = 6
So, the ratio of Earth weight to moon weight is 6:1.
To find out how much you would weigh on the moon, we can use this ratio. If your weight on Earth is W lbs, then your weight on the moon would be (W / 6) lbs.
For example, if you weigh 180 lbs on Earth, then your weight on the moon would be (180 / 6) lbs = 30 lbs.
Therefore, if you weigh approximately 180 lbs on Earth, you would weigh approximately 30 lbs on the moon.
To find the ratio of the Earth weight to the moon weight, divide the weight on Earth by the weight on the moon:
Ratio = Earth weight / Moon weight
Given that Neil Armstrong weighed 360 lbs. on Earth and 60 lbs. on the moon, the ratio would be:
Ratio = 360 lbs. / 60 lbs. = 6
So, the ratio of the Earth weight to the moon weight is 6.
To calculate your approximate weight on the moon, you would use the same ratio. If your weight on Earth is W lbs., then your weight on the moon would be:
Moon weight = Earth weight / Ratio
If you substitute the value of the ratio (6) and multiply it by your Earth weight (W), you would get your approximate weight on the moon. For example, if your Earth weight is 150 lbs., then your weight on the moon would be:
Moon weight = 150 lbs. / 6 = 25 lbs.
Therefore, your approximate weight on the moon would be 25 lbs.
