Answer:
40 2/5Ibs or lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let weight of object on the moon be represented = Wm
weight of object on the Earth = We
In the above question, we are told:
The weight of an object on the moon is
5 of its weight on Earth.
Hence, mathematically, this is represented as:
5Wm = We
If a moon rock weighs 202 lbs on Earth
5Wm = 202lbs
Wm = 202lbs/5
Wm = Ibs
Therefore, the moon rock weighs Ibs on the moon.
