Question
The weight of an object on moon is `1/6` its weight on Earth. If an object weighs `5 3/5` kg on Earth, how much would it weigh on the moon?
Sum
Solution
Weight of an object on the moon is `1/6` of its weight on Earth.
Object weighs on Earth = `5 3/5` kg
= `((5 xx 5) + 3)/5`
= `28/5` kg
Weight on Moon = `1/6` of `28/5` kg
= `1/6 xx 28/5`
= `28/30`
= `14/15`
= 0.93 kg
Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 0.93 kg.
