Women |

13 |
2 |
3 u |
13 u |
2 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 5 and 15.
LCM of 5 and 15 = 15
Number of men = 13 u
Number of children = 3 u
Number of more men than children
= 13 u - 3 u
= 10 u
10 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 10 = 1
Total number of people
= 3 u + 13 u + 2 u
= 18 u
= 18 x 1
= 18
Answer(s): 18
