Answer:
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
