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 each medal did your team win?

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

your answer would be b
