The flowerpot shown below weighs 5 pounds on Earth and 0.29 pounds on Pluto. Which proportion could you use to calculate a 115-pound person’s weight on Pluto?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

.29 / 5 = .058 multiplying an "Earth weight" by this proportion equals the "Pluto weight" of something. So someone weighing 115 lbs on Earth weighs 115 * .058 = 6.67 pounds when on Pluto.
