Approximately how much would a person weighing 180 pounds on Earth weigh on
Venus?
Answer:
a person would weigh 158 pounds on venus
Step-by-step explanation:

i.e. weight on venus ∝ weight on earth
weight on venus = k * weight on earth
where k is the constant of proportionality
according to the question:
106 = k * 120
k = 106/120 = .88
thus,
person weighing 180 pounds on earth weighs on venus:
weight on venus = .88 * 180
= 158 pounds
