Answer:
Weight on the moon=x=15.87 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be expressed as;
Weight on earth=Constant×Weight on moon
where;
Weight on moon=14.2 kilograms
Constant=k
Weight on Earth=85 kilograms
Replacing in the expression above;
85=14.2×k
k=(85/14.2)=5.986
If the person weighs 95 kilograms on Earth;
Weight on the earth=Constant×Weight on moon
where;
Weight on the moon=x
Constant=5.986
Weight on the earth=95 kilograms
Replacing;
95=5.986×x
x=95/5.986=15.87
Weight on the moon=x=15.87 kilograms
