Question

A 100-pound person on Earth would weigh about 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 pounds on Jupiter. Evaluate the expression to determine how much a 100-pound person would weigh on Jupiter.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{Weight on Jupiter} = \frac{25}{64}\times (\text{Weight on earth})$

Step-by-step explanation:

A 100 pound person on earth weigh 4×4×4×4 pounds on Jupiter.

4×4×4×4 pounds weight = 256 pounds

Therefore ratio of the weights on earth and Jupiter = 100 : 256

= 25 : 64

Let a person weigh x pounds on Earth therefore the expression which represents the weight of the person on Jupiter will be

$\frac{\text{Weight on Jupiter}}{\text{Weight on Earth}}=\frac{25}{64}$

$\text{Weight on Jupiter} = \frac{25}{64}\times (\text{Weight on earth})$

Answer 2

He would weigh 25,600 pounds on Jupiter
100 * 4*4*4*4 gives you 25,60p
