    I think that the answer is c. I think that's what it is because it basically takes off one hundred pounds. So I think c is the closest.

    The answer is 4.583 . I know that because if you multiply the weight of gravity and the weight that he weighed than you can get 4.583 . You can calculate it if you want i think/know I'm right

    I think the answer is D.I think the answer is D because I
    multiplied it by 6 then it will come out to be 165.That is what my answer is because I did the math right.

    The answer is a.If you think about it it said one
    sixth.The weight he weighed is 27.5 so you divided 27.5 and
    6=4 because 6 times 4 is 24.So the answer is a.You can double check by timesing it.
