Answer:

7 teams with 6 girls and 8 boys on each team

Step-by-step explanation:

Both 42 (girls) and 56 (boys) are divisible by 7 (getting 6 and 8).

Therefore, there would be 6 girls and 8 boys on each team.

The ratio would be 6 girls:8 boys per team.

Check:

6•7=42 ––(6 girls amongst 7 teams = 42 girls total)

8•7=56 ––(8 boys amongst 7 teams = 56 boys total)
