A year on Mars is 1.88 Earth years. If you are 13 years old on Earth, how old would you be on Mars?
I don't know if I am supposed to multiply or divide. I also don't understand what the question is trying to state.
Thanks

hi there
Use dimensional analysis with the ratio of Martian years to Earth years.
(1 Martian year / 1.88 Earth years)(13 Earth years) = 6.91 Martian years
The Earth years will cancel out and the remaining unit will be Martian years.
You are basically dividing your age by 1.88.

13/1.88
Don't be baffled by the decimal stuff. Just use easy numbers. If one Mars year were two earth years, birthdays would happen half (1/2) as often.
