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.

Since the wires are going to make an X, if one angle is 72 deg, then you know the angle directly opposite to it is also 72 deg. Looking at a single side of the x, you see there is a total 180 deg angle (72 + unknown angle), so the unknown angle is 180 - 72, and the angle directly opposite to it will be the same.
