Answer 1

Answer: the weight on Saturn can be expressed as the mixed number 0 33/50 in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract the weight on Saturn (128.34) from the weight on Earth (138): 138 - 128.34 = 9.66

Step 2: Convert the decimal portion (0.66) to a fraction by placing it over 100: 0.66 = 66/100

Step 3: Simplify the fraction, if possible. Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2: 66/100 = 33/50

Step 4: Express the mixed number by dividing the numerator (33) by the denominator (50): 33 ÷ 50 = 0 with a remainder of 33

Step 5: Write the mixed number by combining the whole number part (0) with the fractional part (33/50): 0 33/50
