Answer:

Number of trucks = 24

Number of SUVs = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

The ratio of cars to trucks is 9:4

The total ratio of cars to trucks is

9+4 = 13

Let x = sum of cars and trucks.

There are 54 cars. Therefore,

x = 54 + t trucks

Number of cars = ratio of cars/ total ratio × sum of cars and trucks. This means,

54 = 9/13 × x

9x / 13 = 54

9x = 13 × 54

9x = 702

x = 702 / 9 = 78

x = 54 + t trucks = number of trucks = 78 = 54 + t trucks

t trucks = 78 - 54 = 24

Number of trucks = 24

B)

The ratio of trucks to SUVs is 12:21

The total ratio of cars to trucks is

12 + 21 = 33

Let y = sum of trucks and SUVs

There are 24 trucks. Therefore,

x = 24 + s SUVs

Number of trucks = ratio of trucks / total ratio × sum of trucks and SUVs. This means,

24 = 12 / 33 × y

12y / 33 = 24

12y = 24 × 33

12y = 792

y = 792 / 12 = 66

y = 24 + s SUVs

66 = 24 + s SUVs

s SUVs = 66 - 24 = 42

Number of SUVs = 24

a fox a coyote and a wolf weigh a total of 120 pounds the ratio of the weight of fox to the weight of coyote is 3:8 the weight o

There is not enough information to calculate this. 

<span>Knowing the weight ratio of the fox to coyote as 3:8 in no way allows you to know the respective ratio of the wolf. To know the weight of the wolf would require knowing its ratio value, then the weights of all 3 is an easy calculation. </span>
<span>Example - 3:8:15 (f:c:w) is a plausible ratio based upon real-world weight averages for certain species/subspecies of the three. </span>
<span>- knowing the values of the 3 terms as 3:8:15 gives a total of 3+8+15 = 26 ratio values </span>
<span>- you then simply divide the total weight by this ratio value total; 120/26 = 4.62 </span>
<span>- so each ratio value is 4.62 units of weight*** </span>
<span>- now, simply calculate the weight of each canid by multiplying its ratio value by the unit of weight... </span>
<span>fox; 3 x 4.62 = 13.86 </span>
<span>coyote; 8 x 4.62 = 36.96 </span>
<span>wolf; 15 x 4.62 = 69.3 </span>
<span>Validate the ratios by adding the weights together (we should get 120) 13.86 + 36.96 + 69.3 = 120.12 </span>
<span>The total is slightly out because that 4.62 figure was a rounding up. </span>

<span>Now, the thing is, there is nothing given that allows us to know exactly what ratio value the wolf should be, I chose 15 myself because that is a real-world plausible value when compared to 3:8 for the other 2. Changing it to 16, say, means that there are now 27 ratio values total giving a ratio value of 120/27 = 4.44 obviously changing the weights of all 3.</span>
