There are 8 more boys than girls
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of boys to girls is [tex]4:2[/tex]
The total ratio is [tex]4+2=6[/tex]
There are 24 athletes in all (both boys and girls).
The number of boys [tex]=\frac{4}{6}*24=16[/tex]
The number of girls =24-16=8
The number of boys than girls =16-8=8
Therefore there are 8 more boys than girls
