Question 152553
we have this ratio


<pre>

weight of man on earth     weight of dog on earth
---------------------- = -------------------------
 weight of man on moon      weight of dog on moon



</pre>


So this looks like


{{{175/28=30/x}}}



{{{(175/28)*x=30}}} Multiply both sides by x



{{{175*x=30*28}}} Multiply both sides by 28



{{{175*x=840}}} Multiply



{{{x=840/175}}} Divide both sides by 175



{{{x=24/5}}} Simplify




So our answer is  {{{x=24/5}}} which is roughly {{{x=4.8}}}



So the dog would weigh about 4.8 pounds on the moon
