There are 24 member on the team. The team is 7/12 girls and 5/12 boys. How many more girls are on the team than boys?
(7/12) * 24 = g
(5/12) * 24 = b
g - b = ?
this is hard
To find out how many more girls are on the team than boys, we need to determine the number of girls and boys on the team first.
Let's start by calculating the number of girls on the team. We are given that the team is 7/12 girls, which means 7/12 of the team members are girls. To find the number of girls, we multiply the total number of team members by the fraction representing the proportion of girls: 24 members * 7/12 = 14 girls.
Similarly, we can calculate the number of boys on the team. The team is 5/12 boys, so to find the number of boys, we multiply the total number of team members by the fraction representing the proportion of boys: 24 members * 5/12 = 10 boys.
Finally, we can determine how many more girls are on the team than boys by subtracting the number of boys from the number of girls: 14 girls - 10 boys = 4 more girls.
Therefore, there are 4 more girls than boys on the team.
