Answer:

Around 217 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the height into inches.

5 feet 8 = 5\cdot12 + 8 = 60 + 8 = 68

6 feet = 6\cdot12 = 72.

We can set up a proportion

\frac{205}{68} = \frac{x}{72}

We can use the cross products property to find x.

205\cdot72=14760\\\\\\14760\div68\approx217

Hope this helped!

Answer:

217.0588235 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert ft inches to inches

5 ft = 5*12 = 60 inches

5 ft 8 inches = 68 inches

6 ft = 6*12 = 72 inches

We can use ratios to solve

205 lbs        x lbs

------------- = ----------------

68 inches     72 inches

Using cross products

205 * 72 = 68x

Divide by 68

205 *72/68 = x

217.0588235 lbs
