Answer:

8 people attended the second meeting.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of people who attended the first meeting = 72

Let,

x be the number of people who attended second meeting.

9 times people of second meeting = Number of people who attended first meeting

9x = 72

Dividing both sides by 9

$(9x)/(9)=(72)/(9)\\x=8$

Hence,

8 people attended the second meeting.
