There are 2 girls and 6 boys playing a game. How many additional girls must join the game so that 5/8 of the players are girls?
since there are 2 girls and 6 boys the ratio right now is 1/3 and to solve the number of girls we subtract 5 from 8 to get 3 we then do 6/3 to get 2 and that means it has to be 2 times so the number of girls must be 10 and we want how much we add so we get 10-2=8.Now we get that we need to add 8 more girls
