Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 32

  1. Step 1: Determine the total number of ratio parts: equal parts.
  2. Step 2: Calculate the size of each part: members per part.
  3. Step 3: Multiply by the girls' ratio share: girls.
Answer
32.
Why not the others: 33 is an off-by-one arithmetic error; 36 computes ; 8 is the number of boys (); 20 assumes an even split.
