At the gym, Jasper was able to bench press 224 pounds, which was StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction 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?

Answer 1

Given:

At the gym, Jasper was able to bench press 224 pounds, which was StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction of the weight that Balin was able to bench press.

To find:

Which shows the correct equation and value of x, the weight that Balin could bench press?

Solution:

As given,

"x pounds" represents the weight that Balin could bench press.

So,

The weight that Jasper could bench press will be = $\frac{7}{8} \times x$

But,

The weight that Jasper could bench press at the gym = 224 pounds

Therefore, the correct equation can be written as:

$\bold{\frac{7}{8} \times x = 224}$

$\implies x = \frac{224 \times 8}{7}$

$\implies x = 32 \times 8$

$\implies \bold{x = 256}$

Thus,

The correct equation is → $\underline{\bold{\frac{7}{8} \times x = 224}}$.

The weight that Balin could bench press is → 256.
