\( 1: 329 \) \( 329: 1 \) \( 23: 7567 \) A summer camp has a boy-to-girl ratio of \( 8: 11 \). If the camp has 88 boys, what is the total number of children in the camp?

To find the total number of children in the camp, we start by determining the count of girls using the boy-to-girl ratio of \( 8: 11 \). For every 8 boys, there are 11 girls. If there are 88 boys, we can set up a proportion: \[ \frac{8}{11} = \frac{88}{g} \] Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 8g = 88 \cdot 11 \] Calculating \( 88 \cdot 11 = 968 \) leads to: \[ 8g = 968 \quad \Rightarrow \quad g = \frac{968}{8} = 121 \] Now adding the boys and girls together gives the total number of children: \[ 88 + 121 = 209 \] So, the total number of children in the camp is \( 209 \).
