Answer:

32 people came in blue cars and 6 people came in red cars

Explanation:

Technically, all 48 people came in red or blue cars, but I'm assuming that's not what the question is asking.

To find how many people came in blue cars, we do 2/3*48 which is equal to 32 people.

To find how many people came in red cars, we do 1/8*48 which is equal to 6 people.
