Answer:

4 girls have short red hair

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of guests at the party is 32

1/2 of the guests are boys

The number of girls with long hair is

= 32×1/4

= 8 girls.

The number of girls with short blonde hair is:

= 16×1/4

= 4 girls

Therefore, we apply the formular below to calculate the maximum number of girls with short red hair.

Total number of girls- ( girls with long hair+ girls with short blonde hair)

= 16-(8+4)

=16-12

= 4

Thus, 4 girls have short red hair
