A 100-pound person on Earth would weigh about 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 pounds on Jupiter. Evaluate the expression to determine how much a 100-pound person would weigh on Jupiter.
Answer:
\(\text{Weight on Jupiter} = \frac{25}{64}\times (\text{Weight on earth})\)
Step-by-step explanation:
A 100 pound person on earth weigh 4×4×4×4 pounds on Jupiter.
4×4×4×4 pounds weight = 256 pounds
Therefore ratio of the weights on earth and Jupiter = 100 : 256
= 25 : 64
Let a person weigh x pounds on Earth therefore the expression which represents the weight of the person on Jupiter will be
\(\frac{\text{Weight on Jupiter}}{\text{Weight on Earth}}=\frac{25}{64}\)
\(\text{Weight on Jupiter} = \frac{25}{64}\times (\text{Weight on earth})\)
