To solve the problem of determining how many male members are in the booster club, we need to follow these steps:
1. Understand the relationship given in the question:
- The fraction of the members who are men is given as [tex]\( \frac{1}{8} \)[/tex].
- The total number of members in the booster club is 128.
2. Calculate the number of male members:
- Use the fraction of the total members that are men to find the number of male members.
- Multiply the total number of members by the fraction that represents the men:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of male members} = 128 \times \frac{1}{8}
\][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication:
- When you multiply 128 by [tex]\( \frac{1}{8} \)[/tex], you get 16.
Hence, the number of male members in the club is 16.
The best answer to the question is:
B. 16
