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.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

The triangles ΔABC and ΔSBT are the similar triangles.

Then the ratio of the sides will be constant.

BS / SA = BT / TC

10 / SA = 9 / 2.7

SA = 3

Then the value of the length of line segment SA will be 3 ft.

Find the exponential equation for the given information. Pls help

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

y = 12 $(2.9)^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the exponential function is

y = a $(b)^{x}$

Find a and b by substituting ordered pairs from the table into the equation

Using (0, 12 ), then

12 = a $b^{0}$ ( $b^{0}$ = 1 ), so

a = 12, then

y = 12 $b^{x}$

Using (1, 34.8 ) , then

34.8 = 12 $b^{1}$ ( divide both sides by 12 )

b = 2.9

Thus exponential function is

y = 12 $(2.9)^{x}$
