Answer: 12 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we'll use the direct proportion which is.

y = kx

Where,

y = weight on moon = 48 pounds

x = weight on Earth = 300 pounds

k = Unknown

y = kx

48 = 300k

k = 48/300

k = 0.16

The weight that a 75 pound object on Earth would weigh on the moon will be:

y = kx

where,

y = weight on moon = Unknown

k = 0.16

x = weight on Earth = 75 pounds

y = kx

y= 0.16 × 75

y = 12 pounds

The weight on the moon will be 12 pounds.
