Question

A person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth weighs 38 lb. on Mars. Whats my constant of Mars & Earth?

Please, reply back fast with a full equation that relates the total weight on Earth to the total weight on Mars. Also, please use M as a variable for Mars and E as the variable for Earth.

Answer 1

E is the mass on Earth and M is the mass on Mars.

100 pounds weight on Earth = 38 lb weight on Mars

So, 1 pound weight on Earth =
`(38)/(100)` lb weight on Mars

E pounds weight on Earth =
`(38)/(100) E`

`=(19)/(50) E`

Hence,
`M=(19)/(50) E`
