On Earth, a mahogany chair weighs 20 pounds. In Dimension X, the same mahogany chair weighs 95 pounds. What is the conversion from the 3 dimension to Dimension X? e=Earth weight

Answer 1

On earth, e, there are 3 dimensions. Therefore, the chair weighs 20 pounds in the 3rd dimension.

In dimension x, the chair weighs 95 pounds.

The question asks for a conversion (or a constant) that can equate the chair's weight in the 3rd dimension to its weight in the x dimension.

Set up the equation as follows:

3rd dimension chair = x dimension chair

(conversion factor)*e = 95 pounds

substitute earth weight= e= 20 pounds

conversion factor= k [ I just picked a random letter variable for conversion)

20k = 95

k = 95/20

k = 4.75

The x dimension is 4.75 times heavier than the 3rd dimension.
