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.

The distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. What is 50% of that distance?
Marina86 [1]

Answer: 128.5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that the distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. To get 50% of the distance, we simply have to multiply the distance given by 50%. This will be:

= 50% × 257km

= 50/100 × 257km

= 0.5 × 257km

= 128.5km

Therefore, 50% of the distance is 128.5km.
