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

Answer:

7/4 inches

Longest bean sprout = 8/8 + 8/8

Longest bean sprout = 1 + 1

Longest bean sprout = 2

Shortest bean sprout = 2/8

PLEASE HELP ASAP <br> what is the value of x? enter your answer in the box.
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle.

9           15

------ = ----------

2x-1        3x

Using cross products

9*3x = 15(2x-1)

27x = 30x-15

Subtract 30x from each side

27x-30x = 30x-30x -15

-3x = -15

Divide by -3

-3x/-3 = -15x/-3

x = 5
