Question 615254
person who weighs 200 pounds on earth would weigh about 32 pounds on the moon.
 Find the weight of a person on earth who would weigh 15 pounds on the moon
:
Use a ratio equation to solve this:
Let w = his weight on the earth
:
{{{w/200}}} = {{{15/32}}}
Cross multiply
32w = 200 * 15
32w = 3000
w = {{{3000/32}}}
w = 93.75 lb on earth
