Answer: 27

Step-by-step explanation: if there are 2 girls per one boy, it's a 2:1 ratio. so for every 6 girls there are 3 boys. so whatever amount of girls there is, half of that is is the amount of boys, 54/2=27 so, there are 27 boys for 54 girls.

Hope this helps ^_^

54÷2 since there 2 girls for each boy so 2 girls for 1 boy and there 54 girls

54÷2=27

so there 27 boys in the league
