Well, it would become 5/7x=40.5. Divide both sides by 5/7, so it is 40.5 * by the reciprocal of 5/7 (7/5). The answer is 56.7 pounds.

can someone please help with my geometry homework?? i haven't been in the class for a year and i'm starting off the second semes

Ok so for number 5, AB is proportional to BC just like PQ is proportional to QR. AB = 9, BC = 15, PQ = 3, and QR = x. 9/15 = 3/x. Cross Multiply: This gives you - 9x = 45. Divide both sides by 9, and you get x = 5. QR = 5
