An object weighs 150 lbs on Earth. What is its approximate weight on the Moon (1/6 of Earth's gravity)?

Correct answer

25 lbs

  1. A 6 lbs
  2. B 12 lbs
  3. C 25 lbs
  4. D 30 lbs

Why this is the answer

Weight on Moon = 150 ÷ 6 = 25 lbs. Weight depends on gravity; mass remains constant but weight changes with gravitational force.
