Answer 1

d

Explanation:

Answer 2

Balin could bench press 256 pounds.

Explanation:

Jasper was able to bench press 224 pounds, which is 7/8 of x, which is the weight that Balin was able to bench press. So, mathematically:

`(7)/(8)x = 224`

`7x = 224*8`

`x = (224*8)/(7) = 256`

Balin could bench press 256 pounds.
