hey mate here is your answer mate !!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

the ratio of girls:boys=2:4

number of girls=14

let the no.of girls and boys be 2x and 4x respectivily.

then, 2x= 14 [transpose 2 to the RHS]

=> x=14/2 = 7

So, the no. of boys=4x = 4 x 7= 28

therefore, the total no.of members= no.of boys + no.of girls

                                                         =>28 + 14 =42

hence, the total no. of members is 42.
