Question 18 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis B
Because weight varies inversely with the square of the distance from Earth’s center, the weight at 4,225 miles from the center is 180 × (3,900 ÷ 4,225)². The new distance is 3,900 + 325 = 4,225 miles, so the calculation gives about 153.37 pounds. The correct choice is 153.37 lb.
