SOLUTION For this problem, we need to use ratio and proportion. We have: \frac{{weight\:on\:earth}_{1}}{{weight\:on\:moon}_{1}}=\frac{{weight\:on\:earth}_{2}}{{weight\:on\:moon}_{2}} Let x be the weight of a person on earth who weighs 15 pounds on the moon. Substituting the values, we have: \frac{200}{32}=\frac{x}{15} Solving for x, we will get: \frac{200}{32}=\frac{x}{15}

x=\frac{200\left(15\right)}{32}

x=93.75 ANSWER: 93.75 pounds
