The bass weigh 6 * 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 pounds in all.

The salmon weigh 2 * 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 pounds in all.

The trout, bass, and salmon together weigh 8 + 12 + 24 = <<8+12+24=44>>44 pounds.

Each camper will eat 2 pounds of fish, so Patricia and Jeffrey can feed 44 / 2 = <<44/2=22>>22 campers.

Patricia and Geoffrey went fishing to feed their group of campers. They caught an eight-pound trout, six two-pound bass, and two twelve-pound salmon. If each person will eat two pounds of fish, how many campers can they feed?
