Let m = the total number of medals.

To find the total number of medals we can use either of the clues they gave us.

If Tara's team received 8 medals and that was 1/3 of the medals.  That must mean that:

m x 1/3 = 8
What number divided by 3 is 8? Well, that is 24.  Thus, the total number of medals is 24.

Note: we can check to see if 1/2 of 24 is 12, the total number of medals Jennifer team received, and it checks out!

Find the values of a and b that make the second expression equivalent to the first expression. Assume that x > 0 and y ≥ 0. S
mixas84 [53]

Answer:What was done from the first to the second equation was that the fraction was simplified. 126 and 32 have a common factors of 2. 

126/32=(63*2)/(16*2)

The 2s in the top and bottom can cancel out, leaving the fraction 63/16. 

In addition, since there are x terms on the top and bottom, they cancelled out as well. 

x/x^3=1/x^2

This leaves an x^2 term on the bottom. 

Thus, if a is 16, and b is 2, you will have an equivalent form of the fraction.
