Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of medals won by the Russians.

The way to do this is to add the ratios together

1 + 8 + 5 = 14

(5/14) x = 25

Multiply by 14

5*x = 25 * 14

5x = 350

divide by 5

8/14 = x / 70

14x = 8 * 70

14x = 560

x = 560 / 14

x = 40

The USA won 40 medals.

1/14 = x / 70

14x = 70

x = 5

Canada Won 5 medals.

Russia Won 25 medals

Canada Won 5 medals

A company can buy packages of 500 sheets of paper for $4. At that rate, how much paper can be bought for $2000? Group of answer

Alexandra [31]

Your answer is 250,000. There are two ways to do this problem.

1) Solve 500/4 to find out how many sheets of paper you get per every dollar. — Your answer is 125 sheets for $1. Then you multiply that answer by 2000, and get 250,000. Which means you get 250,000 sheets of paper for $2000.

2) You can divide 2000 by 4 & that gets you 500, you can then multiply that by 500 & you will get 250,000.

Hope this helps.
