Answer: 62.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An astronaut weighs 170 pounds on Earth but only 68 pounds on Mars.

The weight of the rock sample on Mars = 25 pounds

Since the  "Weight of object on Mars"is directly proportional to "Weight of object on Earth".

\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{\text{Weight of rock sample on Earth }}{\text{Weight of rock sample on Mars}}=\dfrac{\text{Weight of astronaut on Earth}}{\text{Weight of astronaut on Mars}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{\text{Weight of rock sample on Earth }}{25}=\dfrac{170}{68}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Weight of rock sample on Earth }=\dfrac{170\times25}{68}=62.5

Hence, the eight of the rock sample on Earth = 62.5 pounds

The ratio of the man's weights on Earth and Mars should be equal to the ratio of the rocks weight on Earth and Mars. By letting x be the stone's weight on Earth, the equation that best describe the condition is,
                      (170 pounds / 68 pounds) = (x pounds / 25 pounds)
The value of x is 62.5 pounds. If the units of the choices in the pounds then, it is not among the choices.

Helen [10]

Answer:

66.6% or 0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

82% or 0.82 of All households have cable TV.

X = The number of households in a group of 6, that have cable TV.

You wish to find the proportion or percentage of groups for which EXACTLY 4 of 6 households will have cable TV.

82% of 6 is = 4.92

Approximately 4.92 out of 6 households, have cable TV.

Using this figure, you can now find out what % of 6 will give you 4.

Cross multiply:

0.82 - 4.92

M - 4

M = (4×0.82) ÷ 4.92 = 3.28÷4.92 = 0.666

Hence, 66.6% of 6 households, have cable TV. In other words, exactly 4 households (X=4) have cable TV.

To test, you can find what 66% of 6 is. You will get 4.

sasho [114]

3 decimal places would be where the 9 is, since the next number is 8 , the 9 would become a 0 and the number before it (5) would become a 6

 so it would be 977.260
