Answer: 6.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put your question into a proper proportional form, because it is a ratio that is equal.

\frac{5}{12} = \frac{x}{15}

To solve proportions, you have to cross-multiply in the direction that has numbers, which is 5 and 15, then divide to 12.

5 * 15 / 12 = 6.25

The answer you should get by doing this is 6.25.

Answer:

x=6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply

5/12=x/15

12*x=15*5

12x=75

Divide both sides by 12 to isolate the variable x

x=6.25

Or, multiply both sides by 15 to "reverse" the division being done to x

5/12=x/15

15*5/12=x/15*15

6.25=x

your team wins 18 medals at a track meet the medals are gold silver and bronze in ratio of 2;2;5. how many of each medal were wo
WITCHER [35]

The team won 4 gold medals, 4 silver medals and 10 bronze medals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total medals won = 18

Ratio of gold, silver and bronze = 2:2:5

Let,

x be the original number.

Therefore,

Gold medals = 2x

Silver medals = 2x

Bronze medals = 5x

According to given statement;

2x+2x+5x=18\\9x=18

Dividing both sides by 9

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

Gold medals = 2x = 2(2) = 4

Silver medals = 2x = 2(2) = 4

Bronze medals = 5x = 5(2) = 10

The team won 4 gold medals, 4 silver medals and 10 bronze medals.
