Question

On Mars, an object weighs 38% as much as on Earth. How much would a person who weighs 165 pounds on Earth weigh on Mars?

Answer 1

62.7

Explanation:

165 * 0.38 = 62.7

This is assuming you mean an object weights 38% less on mars then earth, if its the other way around(they weight 38% more on mars then earth) it would be,

165 * 1.38 = 227.7

Answer 2

Answer: 62.7 pounds

Explanation:

Given : On Mars, an object weighs 38% as much as on Earth.

We can write 38% as 0.38 [We divide percent by 100 to convert it in to decimal]

If the weight of an person on Earth is 165 pounds, then his weight of Mars will be :-

`0.38*165=62.7\ \text{ pounds}`

Hence, the weight of person on Mars= 62.7 pounds
