<span>With a boys to girls ratio of 8:7, this means 8/15 of the campers are boys and 7/15 of the campers are girls.
We are told that there are 195 total campers.
To find # of boys: 195 (the total # of campers) x 8/15 (fraction of the campers that are boys) = 104 boys
To find # of girls: 195 (total # of campers) x 7/15 (fraction of the campers that are girls) = 91 girls
Note: If you do not know how to multiply by fractions, let me know, I have another trick that takes more time but doesn't require the use of fractions.

Answer:6.5 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:10 kilo + 10 kilo + 5 kilo
Should give you 6.5 centimeters if 10 is 3 centimeters
----------------------------------
Define their percentage:
----------------------------------
Adam = 100%
Tapiwa = 100 + 5 = 105%
----------------------------------
Find their total percentage:
----------------------------------
100 + 105 = 205
----------------------------------
Find 1%
----------------------------------
205% = 697 liters
1% = 3.4 liters
----------------------------------
Find 100% (Adam):
----------------------------------
100% = 3.4 x 100
100% = 340 liters
----------------------------------
Find 105% (Tapiwa):
----------------------------------
105% = 3.4 x 105
105% = 357 liters
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Tapiwa = 357 liters and Adam = 340 liters.
