At the gym, jasper was able to bench press 224 pounds, which was 7/8 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?

7/8= x/224; x = 196 pounds
7/8= x/224; x =256 pounds
7/8 = x/224; x= 196 pounds
7/8= x/224; x= 256 pounds

The answer SHOULD be 7/8=224/x;256 pounds.

You may have made a mistake in inputting it here on . So look for the one that matches that.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what we know:

Jasper = 224 pounds

Balin = x

Jasper = 7/8 of x

Now we make an equation for that:

To match the selections we will isolate 7/8 on one side of the equation:

Using ratio and proportion we can solve for what x is. Multiply 224 by 8 and divide it by 7. Or you can do it this way too:

So x = 256 pounds
