Ineed with this question . problem: a karate team had 6 girls and 9 boys. then 2 more girls and 3 more boys joined the team. did the ratio of girls to boys stay the same? explain.

The answer would be yes. The way to solve this is by simplifying the first ratio. The first ratio should be girls to boys, which is 6:9. And since ratio can be fractions, 6:9 could be 6/9. Since 6/9 can simplify, you would get 2/3. Now we need to add the 2 girls and 3 boys back into the ratio. The ratio would then look like 8:12. And 8:12 could be 8/12, and 8/12 can be simplify, we get 2/3. So this means that the ratio stayed the same.
