Question

On a certain planet objects weight about 7/12 of what they weigh on earth. an object weighs 13 5/12 pounds on the planet. solve the equation 7/12w=13 5/12 for w to find the objects weight​

Answer 1

Answer:23 pounds

》7/12 × W = 13 5/12

》7/12 × W = 161/12

》W = (161×12) / (12×7)

》W = 1932/84

》W = 23

Answer 2

40.25 pounds

Explanation:

Given : On a certain planet objects weight about
`(7)/(12)` of what they weigh on earth.

To Find :. an object weighs
`13 (5)/(12)` pounds on the planet. Solve the equation
`(7)/(12)w=13 (5)/(12)`

Solution:

Equation :
`(7)/(12)w=13 (5)/(12)`

`(7)/(12)w=(161)/(12)`

`w=(161)/(12) * (12)/(4)`

`w=(161)/(4)`

`w=40.25`

Hence the object weighs 40.25 pounds
