Answer-29 bronze, 46 gold,and 29 silver.

The first thing to do is take 104 and subtract the 17 medal difference between them all. This is 87. Next we divided 87 into three, which gives us 29. Now we have 29 medals for silver, bronze, and gold. However we must add 17 to the gold medals that we took away earlier. 29+17 is 46. To make sure this is correct we can add 29+29+46. This equals 104, which our original answer, so this was correct.

In 2012 the United States earned 29 bronze medals, 46 gold medals, and 29 silver medals.

HOPE THIS HELPS!! GOOD LUCK!!! <3

First of all, we know that a professional volleyball player can jump an average of 2.5 times higher than the average person which means that the player could jumps 2.5 times higher than the normal do. For example, if the normal people jumps 3 inches height, the professional player could jumps 2.5(3)=7.5 inches height. In this case, if an an average person can jump 2x inches high which leads to that the professional player could jumps 2.5(2x) higher. As a result, C is your final answer. Hope it help!

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

A. 9

B. 24

C. 6

D. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratios are;

A. 2 : 3 = 6 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

6*3=2*x\\18=2x\\2x=18

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{18}{2}\\x=9

B. 4 : 7 = x : 42

Product of mean = Product of extreme

7x=168

Dividing both sides by 7

\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{168}{7}\\x=24

C. 2x : 48 = 3 : 12

Product of extreme = Product of mean

2x*12=48*3\\24x=144

Dividing both sides by 24

\frac{24x}{24}=\frac{144}{24}\\x=6

D. 12 : 15 = x : 20

Product of mean = Product of extreme

15*x=12*20\\15x=240

Dividing both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{240}{15}\\x=16
