    Step-by-step explanation:

    novelists to poets ... ratio 5:3 ... added = 8

    and there are 24 total people

    so novelists make up 5/8 of the total people ... 5/8 of 24 ...

    5/8 * 24 = 120/8 = 15 novelists

    and the poets make up 3/8 of the total people ... 3/8 of 24 ...

    3/8 * 24 = 72/8 = 9 poets
