To solve the proportion and determine the weight on Mars of a person who weighs 160 pounds on Earth, we can set up the following proportion:
Weight on Earth / Weight on Mars = Weight on Earth / Weight on Mars
Let's plug the given values into the proportion:
100 / x = 160 / 37
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then isolate x:
100 * 37 = 160 * x
3700 = 160x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 160 to solve for x:
3700 / 160 = x
23.125 = x
Therefore, a person who weighs 160 pounds on Earth would weigh approximately 23.125 pounds on Mars.
