W=mg
<span>Where: </span>
<span>Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity </span>
<span>So let's say I want to work out my weight on the moon. I know I weigh about 70kg (which would be N), but I can't use that figure for the calculation on the moon. That is what I weigh on Earth, so let's look at the equation... </span>
<span>70kg = mass * 9.81m/s^2 </span>
<span>Where 9.81m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface on the earth. I want to get rid of that, so let's work out my mass by division; </span>
<span>70/9.81 = 7.14kg </span>
<span>I googled the acceleration of gravity on the Moon, which was = 1.6m/s^2 </span>
<span>Let's use that in the same equation W=mg </span>
<span>W = 7.14kg * 1.6m/s^2 = 11.42N
</span><span>On the Moon, you would weigh approximately one sixth of your weight on Earth, so if your bathroom scales tell you you weigh 120 pounds, there you would weigh 20 pounds.
</span>
<span>Moon`s gravitational pull is about one-sixth to the gravitational pull on earth hence weight on moon is about one-sixth of the weight on earth.</span>
4(3+2(5))-6
4(3+10)-6
12+40-6
52-6
46
46 is the answer :))
The answer is <span>62.5.
P stands for percentage, It is asking you to calculate the </span><span>percentage of picking a red or blue marble out of the bag. Since we know there are 16 marbles and ten of them are the ones we want (6 red, 4 blue) we have to divide 16 by 10 then multiply by 100. WE GET 62.5%
