Answer:

Formula: y = x/3. Answer: 40 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we divide 150 by 50. This gets us 3. This means your weight on Earth is 3x your weight on Mars. That means we can make a formula. Our formula is y (weight in pounds on Mars) = x (weight in pounds on Earth)/3. Let's plug 120 in our formula. 120/3 is 40. This means the weight of the object on Mars is 40 pounds.
