Question

For every `8` boys wearing neon blue, there are `2` girls wearing neon blue. If there are `32` boys wearing neon blue, how many girls are wearing neon blue?

Answer 1

8 girls are wearing neon blue.

Explanation:

There are several ways to do this but one of them is to find how many groups of 8 boys are in 32. To do this we divide 32 by 8 which equals 4. We then multiply 2 by 4 which is 8.

Answer 2

8:2

32:8

Explanation:

It's pretty simple:

If there's 32 boys, which is 4 times the amount you start with, you have to apply that to the number of girls as well since for every 8 boys, there is 2 girls.

8x4

2x4

32:8 Hope this helps
