Answer:  192 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the weight of Frances ( in pounds ).

Given : The ratio between Frances and Carolina's weight is 8: 7

If Carolina weighs 168 pounds, then using proportion s we have the equation below :-

\dfrac{x}{168}=\dfrac{8}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{8\times168}{7}\ \ \text{[Multiply 168 on both sides]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8\times24=192

Therefore, the weight of Frances = 192 pounds.

Write a proportion to find how many points x a student needs to score on a test worth 50 points to get a test score of 78%.
olganol [36]
The answer is:  "39 points" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
" x/ 50 = 78/100 " ;   in which "x" equals the number of points needed.

_______________________________________________________

To solve for "x" ; 
_______________________________________________________

Look at the denominators:  50 * (what value?) = 100.

→ "100 ÷ 50 = 2" .

→ So;  "50 * 2 = 100" ; 

So, let us look at the numerators:

x * 2 = 78 ; 

↔  2x = 72 ; 

Divide each side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________________
 →  78 ÷ 2 = 39 ;

The answer is:  "39 points" .
