The ratio of boys to girls in our math club is 4: 3. after 8 more girls joined the club, pthe ratio became 1: 1. how many members are there in the club now?
4:3 is 32:24. to prove the statement is to add 8 to 24, which then turns to 32. making the ratio 32:32 or 1:1. 32 plus 32 is 64. there are 64 members in the club now.
Ratio is from 4:3 then your club was added for about 8 girls then 1:1 is equals to 8 boys : 8 girls. Our ratio of boys and girls now will become 4:4 because we've added 1 to girls. From 4:4 it rounded to 1:1 or 32 boys : 32 girls. It became 32 because 1=8, so 4=32, how? 4×8=32. The answer in this problem is, there are 64 math club member now.

So 8 is equivalent to 1. so the answer is...
4 × 8 = 32
3 × 8 = 24
32 + 24 = 56
56 + 8 (Because of 8 girls) = 64
Therefore, there are 64 members.
Computed as: 28 boys and 21 girls plus additional 8 girls
Find the common factor:
(4x) : (3x+8) = 1: 1
4x = 3x + 8
4x - 3x = 8
x = 8
Boys: 4x ⇒ 4(8) = 32
Girls: 3(8) + 8 ⇒ 24 + 8 = 32
Ratio ⇒ 1:1
ANSWER: There are 32 boys and 32 girls, or a total of 64 club members.Check:
Original number of boys and girls:
Boys: 4(8) = 32
Girls: 3(8) = 24
Original ratio ⇒ 4:3
32:24 = 4:3
4:3 = 4:3 (True)
"There are now 64 members in the club."
