    4 girls have short red hair

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total number of guests at the party is 32

    1/2 of the guests are boys

    The number of girls with long hair is

    = 32*1/4

    = 8 girls.

    The number of girls with short blonde hair is:

    = 16*1/4

    = 4 girls

    Therefore, we apply the formular below to calculate the maximum number of girls with short red hair.

    Total number of girls - (girls with long hair + girls with short blonde hair)

    = 16 - (8+4)

    =16-12

    = 4

    Thus, 4 girls have short red hair
