An astronaut who weighs 144 pounds on Earth would weigh 33 pounds on the Theta Space Station. If a piece of equipment weighed 1296 pounds on Earth, what would it weigh on the Theta Space Station?

%0D%0A%0D%0A%28+144+%29%2F%28+33+%29=%28+1296+%29%2F%28+x+%29%0D%0A%0D%0A

%0D%0A%0D%0A%28+x+%29%2F%28+1296+%29=%28+33+%29%2F%28144++%29%0D%0A%0D%0A

%0D%0Ax=1296%2A%28+33+%29%2F%28144++%29=297%0D%0A

so 297 pounds
