there are half as many boys in a certain club as there are girls. write an expression for the total number of boys and girls in the club.

Let number of girls be G
Then number of boys = %281%2F2%29G, or G%2F2
Total number of girls and boys = G+%2B+G%2F2, or %282G+%2B+G%29%2F2, or highlight_green%283G%2F2%29
