Men |

2 u |
11 u |
3 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 7 and 14.
LCM of 7 and 14 = 14
Number of women = 11 u
Number of children = 2 u
Number of more women than children
= 11 u - 2 u
= 9 u
9 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 9 = 2
Total number of people
= 2 u + 11 u + 3 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 2
= 32
Answer(s): 32
