Aperson standing on the moon would weigh 16% of his weight on earth if astro knot weighs 150 lb on earth how much would he weigh on the moon

The answer is: The man will weigh 24 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this by using the "Proportion Method". This is a method to solve any type of percent problems.

so the method looks like this:

part/whole = percent/100

(the / signs are supposed to represent them looking like a fraction).

First we should find the "percent". Which is 16%. Because it states "weigh 16% of his weight", which indicates part. And it has the percent sign.

The 150 lb will be the whole. Because it sounds like a whole, the way its stated.

Now we have to figure out the part. To do this you cross multiply. So multiply 16 * 150, you will get 2,400.

So now you have to find the part. You find this value by seeing 100 * ? will equal 2,400. To do that do 2,400/100 and you will get 24. And to recheck, do 24 * 100 and you will get 2,400.

So this is how the answer is 2,400.

You can solve any percent problem like this, by finding the "part", percent, and whole. Then cross multiply with the two numbers across from each other. Divide that product by the number that has no partner to cross multiply with and that will be your answer.
