    x = 63.08 lbs ≈ 63 lbs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You will solve this problem in the same way, to make proportion:

    26 : 41 = 40 : x

    When we multiply external and internal members we get:

    26 x = 40 · 41 = 1640 = > 26 x = 1640 = > x = 1640/26 = 63.076 ≈ 63 lbs

    x = 63 lbs

    God with you!
