The number of children is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of children the same by using LCM of 5 and 10.
LCM of 5 and 10 = 10
Number of boys = 9 u
Number of adults = 4 u
Number of more boys than adults
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u
5 u = 15
1 u = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Total number of people
= 4 u + 9 u + 1 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 3
= 42
Answer(s): 42
