Question 187598
The weight M of an object on Mars varies directly as its weight E on Earth. A person who weighs 95 lb on Earth weighs 38 lb on Mars. 
----------------------------
M = kE
---------
Find "k":
38 = k*95
k= (38/95)
-----
Equation:
M = (38/95)E
----------------------------------
How much would a 100-lb person weigh on Mars? 
M = (38/95)*100
M = 40 lbs
