Question

At the gym, Jasper was able to bench press 224 pounds, which was StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction of the weight that Balin was able to bench press. Which shows the correct equation and value of x, the weight that Balin could bench press? StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction x = 224; x = 196 pounds StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction x = 224; x = 256 pounds StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 224 EndFraction; x = 196 pounds StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 224 EndFraction; x = 256 pounds

Answer 1

Answer:

StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction x = 224; x = 256 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight Jasper can bench press = 224 pounds.

We need to find the equation and value of x.

Solution:

Let the weight Balin can able to bench press be 'x'.

Now Given:

Weight Jasper can bench press is equal to $\frac{7}{8}$ of the weight that Balin was able to bench press.

framing in equation form we get;

$\frac78 x =224\\\\x = \frac{224\times8}{7}\\\\x= 256 \ pounds$

Hence Balin can bench press 256 pounds.
