Comparing women and children |
|
2x3 |
3x3 |
Final ratio |
5 u |
6 u |
9 u |
Women : Men : Children
5 : 6 : 9
9 u - 5 u = 4 u
4 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 4 = 75
Number of adults = 5 u + 6 u = 11 u
Number of children = 9 u
Number of more adults than children
= 11 u - 9 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 75
= 150
Answer(s): 150
