A fox, a coyote, and a wolf weigh a total of 120 pounds. The ratio of the weight of the fox to the weight of the coyote is 3:8. The weight of the coyote is 32 pounds. What is the weight of the wolf?

Respuesta :

You haven't given enough information. The best I can say is that the wolf weighs 50 pounds, but I don't think that is right..

Answer:

the wolf is 76 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to divide 32 by 8, which is 4. Then you know that 4 is the divider to the simplified ratio, 3:8. So you multiply 3 and 4 which is 12. so you add 32 and 12 which is 44. then you subtract 44 by 120 which is 76. So The weight of the wolf is 76 lbs.
