Hello!
7:8 would be the ratio of girls to boys. It is asking for the total players, so you should add the number of girls to the number of boys for the total, then do the ratio.

Your ratio is the ratio of girls to boys, girls:boys. You want the ratio girls to total players, girls:total players. If there are 7 girls and 8 boys, how many players are there in total?
