MathBot Answer:

Given:num boys:num girls=3:2\begin{aligned}\text{num boys} : \text{num girls} = 3 : 2\end{aligned}It follows:num boysnum girls=32\begin{aligned}\frac{\text{num boys}}{\text{num girls}} = \frac{3}{2}\end{aligned}If there are 12 boys, then:num girls12=23\begin{aligned}\frac{\text{num girls}}{12} = \frac{2}{3}\end{aligned}Therefore:num girls=23×12=8\begin{aligned}\text{num girls} = \frac{2}{3} \times 12 = 8\end{aligned}
