Question

The weight of an object on moon is 1/6 it's weight on earth. If an object weighs 5 3/5 kg on earth, how much would it weigh on the moon.?

Answer 1

Answer :

The weight of an object on moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ it's weight on earth .

And

An object weighs on earth = $5\frac{3}{5}=\frac{25+3}{5}=\frac{\mathbf{28}}{\mathbf{5}}\mathbf{}\mathbf{kg}$ , So

Weigh on the moon = $\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{28}{5}=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{14}{5}=\frac{\mathbf{14}}{\mathbf{15}}\mathbf{}\mathbf{kg}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{(}\mathbf{}\mathbf{Ans}\mathbf{}\mathbf{)}$
