the question is . the ratio of an object on earth to its weight on Neptune is 5:7 . how much would a person who weighs 150 pounds on earth weigh on neptune?

Relax

Respuesta :

5:7 is to 150:x where x is the pounds the person weighs on Neptune. (assuming earth to neptune as 5 to 7)

Thus, this is by its definition, a proportion.

5/7 = 150/x

5x=1050

x=210

Thus that person weights 210 pounds on Neptune.
