Switzerland Medals Ratio


1. The problem asks us to find the ratio of gold to silver to bronze medals won by Switzerland and simplify it. 2. From the table we see Switzerland won 6 gold medals, 0 silver medals, and 3 bronze medals. 3. Write the ratio as $6 : 0 : 3$. 4. To simplify, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 6, 0, and 3. The GCD of 6 and 3 is 3. Zero does not affect the GCD. 5. Divide each quantity by 3: $\frac{6}{3} : \frac{0}{3} : \frac{3}{3} = 2 : 0 : 1$. 6. The simplified ratio of gold to silver to bronze medals won by Switzerland is $2 : 0 : 1$. Note: The zero in the ratio indicates Switzerland did not win any silver medals. Final answer: $2 : 0 : 1$
