An astronaut who weighs 85 kilograms on earth weighs 14.2 kilograms on the moon. how much would a person weigh on the moon if they weigh 95 kilograms on earth?

Weight on the moon=x=15.87 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be expressed as;

Weight on earth=Constant×Weight on moon

where;

Weight on moon=14.2 kilograms

Constant=k

Weight on Earth=85 kilograms

Replacing in the expression above;

85=14.2×k

k=(85/14.2)=5.986

If the person weighs 95 kilograms on Earth;

Weight on the earth=Constant×Weight on moon

where;

Weight on the moon=x

Constant=5.986

Weight on the earth=95 kilograms

Replacing;

95=5.986×x

x=95/5.986=15.87

Weight on the moon=x=15.87 kilograms
