Women |
Men |

2 u |
13 u |
3 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 8 and 16.
LCM of 8 and 16 = 16
Number of women = 13 u
Number of children = 2 u
Number of more women than children
= 13 u - 2 u
= 11 u
11 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 11 = 2
Total number of people
= 2 u + 13 u + 3 u
= 18 u
= 18 x 2
= 36
Answer(s): 36
