Question 1033336
the amazon woman has the same proportions as the normal woman.


the normal woman is 5.5 feet tall and weight 140 pounds.


if you let x equal the weight of the amazon woman, then the amazon woman is 50 feet tall and x pounds.


you get a ratio that says that 5.5 / 140 = 50 / x.


cross multiply to get 5.5 * x = 140 * 50


divide both sides of this equation by 5.5 to get x = (140 * 50) / 5.5.


solve for x to get x = 1272.727272... pounds.


that's equivalent to 1272 and 8/11 pounds.


if you look at the height to weight ratio, the normal wouman is 5.5 / 140 = .0392857143 and the amazon woman is 50 / (1272 + 8/11) = the same.


they're in proportion.
