Answer:

6.93 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight on the moon is approximately 16.5% of what you would weigh on Earth. Using this information, we can say that 16.5% of 42 lbs would equal how much the object would weigh on the moon.

I prefer to convert percentages the decimal way, so let's do it that way. 16.5% is 0.165 as a decimal, so now all we have to do is multiply 0.165 by 42 (since we are saying 16.5% of 42 lbs), and we get 6.93 lbs.

Hope this helps! :)

The sum of three numbers is 131. The second of three numbers is seven more than twice the first. The third number is 12 less tha

Norma-Jean [14]

First number is (x).
Second number is (2x+7).
Third number is (x-12).
Their sum is (x+2x+7+x-12).
x+2x+7+x-12 =131

You can simplify this equation
4x-5=131,

4x=136
x=136/4=34 (first number),
(2x+7)=34*2+7=75 (second number)
34-x=34-12 =22(third number)

Check: 34+75+22=131
