__//**MEDDLING WITH MEDALS**//__
Central Middle School is going to hold a mini Olympics. The countries participating are Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, Canada, and the United States of America. There will be a total of 24 medals given out. 3 medals will be given for each event; 1 gold; 1 silver; 1. There are 8 sporting events. These include: slalom, downhill racing, ski jumping, figure skating, speed skating, bobsledding, luge, and freestyle snow boarding. Your assignment is to mathematically determine which countries should get medals in which events so that all of the medals are given out, resulting in 3 winners (1 st, 2 nd , 3 rd ) for each event. Each country must win at least 2 medals. Remember to show all your work so that it is organized and reflects the steps you followed to solve this problem. Good Luck!
