Let m = the total number of medals.

To find the total number of medals we can use either of the clues they gave us.

If Tara's team received 8 medals and that was 1/3 of the medals.  That must mean that:

m x 1/3 = 8
What number divided by 3 is 8? Well, that is 24.  Thus, the total number of medals is 24.

Note: we can check to see if 1/2 of 24 is 12, the total number of medals Jennifer team received, and it checks out!
