Ms. guerra picked 32 students to her decorate her door. she picked 8 more girls than boys. what is the experimental probability of ms guerra picking a girl? express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to figure out how many girls  and boys there are.

g = girls

b = boys

g = b+8  ( eight more girls than boys)

b = g-8

There are 32 students)

g+b =32

Substitute b = g-8 into the equation

g + (g-8) = 32

Combine like terms.

2g-8 = 32

Add 8 to each side.

2g -8+8 = 32+ 8

2g = 40

Divide by 2

g = 20

There are 20 girls

The experimental probability of picking a girl is

girls/ total

20/32 = 5/8  

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.
