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

The length of a rectangle is 1 ft more than double the width, and the area of the rectangle is 45 ft2 . find the dimensions of t
algol [13]
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
