Your Olympic team wins 48 medals in the spring. The medals are gold, silver, and bronze in a ratio of 2 : 1 : 5. How many of eac h medal did your team win?
1 answer:
Answer:
12, 6 and 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
Number of medals = 48 medals
The given ratio is = 2:1:5
The total ratio is = 2+1+5= 8
Step two;
Applying the part to all method
for Gold we have
2/8=x//48
cross multiply
8x= 48*2
divide both sides by 8
x= 96/8
x= 12
gold is 12
for silver we have
1/8=x//48
cross multiply
8x= 48*1
divide both sides by 8
x= 48/8
x= 6
silver is 6
for bronze we have
5/8=x/48
cross multiply
8x= 48*5
divide both sides by 8
x= 240/8
x= 30
Bronze is 30

In your head, you should be able to add 15 and 5. The answer is 20. You should also be able to work out 20 + 9. The answer is 29. The trick to doing well at these types of questions is finding the quickest and easiest method of working them out. It will come with practice :)
A = L * W A = 45 L = 2W + 1 45 = W(2W + 1) 45 = 2W^2 + W 2W^2 + W - 45 = 0 (2W - 9)(W + 5) = 0 W + 5 = 0 W = -5...not this one because it is negative 2W - 9 = 0 2W = 9 W = 9/2 W = 4.5 <=== the width is 4.5 ft L = 2W + 1 L = 2(4.5) + 1 L = 9 + 1 L = 10 <=== the length is 10 ft
