Amber Hahn · Answer 1

3 people

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 16 people in the first lecture and 6 people have brown eyes, the ratio is 6:16. If in the next lecture there is 8 people, all that needs to be done is halving the numbers in the original ratio (to get 16 to 8). Therefore, the ratio is 3:8, meaning 3 people out of 8 would have brown eyes.
