5. Earth Science Your weight on the Moon is about of your weight on Earth. Write
and solve an equation to show how much a person weighs on Earth if he weighs

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You left out the main fraction associated with the moon which is (1/6) the gravitational pull on earth.

The proportion will look like this

1 moon / 6 earth = 16 moon / x         Cross multiply

16 moon * 6 earth = 1 moon * x        Combine

96 earth = x

The moon units cancel out.
