1 x 2 |
5 x 2 |

Women |
Men |

9 |
1 |
2 u |
9 u |
1 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 5 and 10.
LCM of 5 and 10 = 10
Number of women = 9 u
Number of children = 2 u
Number of more women than children
= 9 u - 2 u
= 7 u
7 u = 14
1 u = 14 ÷ 7 = 2
Total number of people
= 2 u + 9 u + 1 u
= 12 u
= 12 x 2
= 24
Answer(s): 24
