Answer:

each person gets 2/3 of an orange!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Barry has 3 friends. There are 2 oranges. We know each person cant get a orange fraction that is equal or greater to 1, because 2 is smaller than 3! So we take the 2 oranges and make it the numerator, or the number on top, and take the 3 friends and make them the denominator, or the number on the bottom!

Answer:

The answer SHOULD be 7/8=224/x;256 pounds.

You may have made a mistake in inputting it here on Brainly. So look for the one that matches that.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what we know:

Jasper = 224 pounds

Balin = x

Jasper = 7/8 of x

Now we make an equation for that:

$(\dfrac{7}{8})(x) = 224pounds$

To match the selections we will isolate 7/8 on one side of the equation:

$\dfrac{7}{8}=\dfrac{224}{x}$

Using ratio and proportion we can solve for what x is. Multiply 224 by 8 and divide it by 7. Or you can do it this way too:

$\dfrac{7}{8}=\dfrac{224}{x}$

$(7)(x)=(224pounds)(8)$

$7x=1792pounds$

$x=\dfrac{1792pounds}{7}=256pounds$

So x = 256 pounds
