Answer:

The answer is 5 more people can board the raft.

Explanation:

If the raft can hold 8 people and there are 2 passengers and 1 guide already on board, and since 2 + 1 = 3, and 8 - 3 = 5, then that means that there is enough room in the raft for 5 more people.

if the raft holds at least 8 people and there is already 2 on there then 8-2=6 so 6 people will be able to get on board if i did it correctly
