Gerald and his dog Spike get on the scale together. Their combined weight is 128 pounds. If the ratio of Gerald's weight to Spike's weight is 3:1, how much does Gerald weigh?

Respuesta :

Gerald weighs 96 pounds. Spike weighs 32 pounds.

Answer:

96lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

g + s = 128

g = 3s

3s + s = 4s = 128

s = 128/4 = 32

g = 3s = 96
