Question

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?

Answer 1

the wolf is 76 lbs.

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.

Answer 2

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..
