Answer:
We have 8 more boys than girls on the swim team.
Explanation:
The ratio of boys to girls on a swim team is represented as:
4 : 2
Total number of athletes is given as 24
Total ratio is given as:
4 + 2 = 6
Step 1
We find the number of boys and girls
Number of boys = 4/6 × 24 = 16 boys.
Number of girls = 2/6 × 24 = 8 girls.
Therefore, since we have 16 boys and 8 girls on the swim team, we have 8 more boys than girls on the swim team.
