Answer 1

Your first sentence is wrong. You must have meant to write
"An object's weight on Mars can be found by multiplying 0.38 by the object's weight on Earth."

a) is correct
b) is wrong. It should be 164*0.38 = 62.32
You omitted a crucial decimal point.

Answer 2

I don't understand why we need algebra in our lives.. like x+y=xy WFT? O.o

Answer 3

The answer is indeed 62.32 you had the decimal in the wrong place
