Answer:
Paul should give 18 teaspoons of medicine to his dog.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is stated in the question that for every 12 pounds, 3 teaspoons of medicine is to be given to the dog.
This implies that:
12 pounds = 3 teaspoons
1 pound = 3/12 teaspoons
= 1/4 teaspoons <em> ( by cross multiplication )</em>
<em />
<h3>72 pounds = 1/4 * 72 teaspoons</h3><h3> = 18 teaspoons</h3><h3 />
Hence, Paul should add 18 teaspoons of medicine to his dog's food.
