Question 95

The weight of an object on Moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ of its weight on Earth. If an object weighs $5\frac{3}{5}$ kg on Earth. How much would it weigh on the Moon?

Answer 1

Weight of af object on the Moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ kg of its weight on Earth
Object wights on Earth $=5\frac{3}{5}kg=\frac{(5\times 5)+3}{5}=\frac{28}{5}$ kg
Weight on Moon = $\frac{1}{6}$ of $\frac{28}{5}$ kg
= $\frac{1}{6}$ $\times$ $\frac{28}{5}$ = $\frac{28}{30}$ = $\frac{14}{15}$ = $\text{0.93}$ kg
Hence the weight of the object on the Moon is $\text{0.93}$ kg
