a) Number of United States Gold medals = 46
Number of Russian Gold medals = 24
Therefore, ratio of the Unites States gold medals to Russia gold medals is:
[tex]\frac{46}{24}=\frac{23}{12}\approx\frac{24}{12}=\frac{2}{1}=2\colon1[/tex]about 2 to 1
b) The number of Canadiann total medals = 18
The number of Australian total medals = 35
[tex]\frac{18}{35}\approx\frac{18}{36}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]Therefore Canada has about half as many total medals as Australia
