Answer:

A.  Percentage weight on Mars = 37.7%

    Percentage weight on Moon = 16.6%

B.   Weight on Mars = 0.377x and

     weight on Earth = 0.166x

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Percentage weight on Mars = [tex]\frac{Weight on Mars}{Weight on Earch} (100)[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{56.55}{150} (100)[/tex]

= 37.7%

Percentage weight on Moon = [tex]\frac{Weight on Moon}{Weight on Earth} (100)[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{24.9}{150} (100)[/tex]

= 16.6%


B.  If x represents an object's weight on Earth, then its weight on Mars would be 37.7% of x.

So, weight on Mars = 0.377x

Also, weight on Moon would be 16.6% of x.

So, weight on Moon = 0.166x.
