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!
I would use ratio.
14:8 divide 2
7:4 times 3
21:12

Answer:
- 25 pounds cashews
- 15 pounds peanuts
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of pounds of cashews in the mix. Then 40-c is the number of pounds of peanuts. The total cost of the mix is ...
10c +2(40 -c) = 7(40)
8c +80 = 280 . . . . simplify
c +10 = 35 . . . . . . . divide by 8
c = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10
40-c = 40-25 = 15 . . . . pounds of peanuts
25 pounds of cashews and 15 pounds of peanuts should be used in the mix.
