Answer:
40.25 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : On a certain planet objects weight about[tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] of what they weigh on earth.
To Find :. an object weighs [tex]13 \frac{5}{12}[/tex] pounds on the planet. Solve the equation [tex]\frac{7}{12}w=13 \frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Solution:
Equation : [tex]\frac{7}{12}w=13 \frac{5}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7}{12}w=\frac{161}{12}[/tex]
[tex]w=\frac{161}{12} \times \frac{12}{4}[/tex]
[tex]w=\frac{161}{4}[/tex]
[tex]w=40.25[/tex]
Hence the object weighs 40.25 pounds
