so yu divide 32 by 8 which gets you to 4. then you multiply 4 by 3 to get 12. he weight of the form is 12 pounds. you then subtract 44 (the weight of the fox and coyote combined) from 120. which leaves you at 76. si the weight of the wolf is 76 pounds (the ratio is 3:8:19 because 76 divided by 4 is 19)
