Question

Croatia won 10 medals at the 2016 Summer Olympics. 5 were Gold, 3 were Silver and the rest were Bronze. What's the ratio of Gold:Bronze?

Answer 1

Answer:

5:2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find how many bronze medals were won.

We know they earned a total of 10, and the gold, silver and bronze medals added must equal 10.

gold+silver+bronze=10

We also know they won 5 gold and 3 silver

5+3+bronze=10

8+bronze=10

Subtract 8 from both sides

bronze=2

So, Croatia won 5 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze

The ratio of gold:bronze

We know they won 5 gold and 2 bronze, so plug those into the ratio

gold: bronze

5:2
