Only seventh grade and eighth grade girls can play on the Milton Bradley Middle School volleyball team. The ratio of seventh grade girls to eighth grade girls on the team is ¾. There are 6 seventh grader girls on the team. What is the total number of girls on the team?

3/4 = 6/8

6 + 8 = 14

To find the total number of girls on the team, we need to determine the number of eighth grade girls.

Given that the ratio of seventh grade girls to eighth grade girls is ¾, and there are 6 seventh grade girls, we can set up the equation:

(Seventh Grade Girls)/(Eighth Grade Girls) = (6)/(x)

Where x represents the number of eighth grade girls.

Cross multiplying, we have:

7/(4x) = 6

Now, we can solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4x:

7 = 24x

Dividing both sides by 24:

x = 7/24

However, since the problem states that the number of girls should be a whole number, we need to round x to the nearest whole number, which is 0. Hence, there are no eighth grade girls on the team.

Now, we can find the total number of girls on the team by adding the number of seventh grade girls (6) and the number of eighth grade girls (0):

Total number of girls on the team = 6 + 0 = 6

Therefore, there are 6 girls on the Milton Bradley Middle School volleyball team.
