'The ratio of the weight of an object on Jupiter to its weight on Earth is 8 to 3. How much would a 120 pound person weight on Jupiter?'

Answer:

320 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is decently easy after u understand the concept

So... This is what the question gave

Jupitar : earth

8 : 3

In other words, if u weigh 8 pound on Jupitar, u would weigh 3 pounds on earth

Therefore now they say on earth, the person weighs 120 pound, so let's just put in this value

Jupitar : earth

8 : 3

? : 120

Now its called ratio bcuz the increase at the same pace

So now look at the earth part, u got to find out how did 3 become 120, so just divide them

120/3 = 40 , so 3 x 40 = 120

So if they multiplied the right ( earth) by 40, u do the exact same on the left ( Jupitar)

8 x 40 = 320

Thats your answer my friend
