If an object on earth weighs 42 lbs, what is its weight on the moon?

6.93 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight on the moon is approximately 16.5% of what you would weigh on Earth. Using this information, we can say that 16.5% of 42 lbs would equal how much the object would weigh on the moon.

I prefer to convert percentages the decimal way, so let's do it that way. 16.5% is 0.165 as a decimal, so now all we have to do is multiply 0.165 by 42 (since we are saying 16.5% of 42 lbs), and we get 6.93 lbs.

Hope this helps! :)

in geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. by extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.
