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

70

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.

Check

Russia       Won 25 medals

Canada     Won   5 medals

USA           Won 40 medals
