The ratio of the weight of an object on jupiter to its weight on earth is 8 to 3. how much would a 100 pound person weigh on jupiter? explain how you got the answer

Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Weight of a person on earth = 100 pounds
Then from the given question, we can find that
8x = 100
x = 100/8
   = 25/2
   = 12.5
Then
The weight of the person in Jupiter = (3 * 12.5) pounds
                                                         = 37.5 pounds
So the weight of the person weighing 100 pounds on earth will be 37.5 pounds on Jupiter. I hope this is the answer you were looking for and the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.
