Answers:
1. What is the ratio of girls to boys?
Number of girls = 8
Number of boys = 7
Ratio = 8 : 7
2. What is the ratio of girls to all the players?
Number of girls = 8
Total number of players = 8 + 7 = 15
Ratio = 8 : 15
3. If one girl quit playing volleyball what is now the ratio of boys to girls?
Number of boys = 7
Number of girls = 8
If one girl quits = 8 - 1 = 7
Ratio = 7 : 7 = 1 : 1
4. Number of boys and girls = 15
Total number of players = 15
Ratio = 15 : 15 = 1 : 1
