14 |
1 |
3 u |
14 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 15.
LCM of 5 and 15 = 15
Number of men = 14 u
Number of children = 3 u
Number of more men than children
= 14 u - 3 u
= 11 u
11 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 11 = 2
Total number of people
= 3 u + 14 u + 1 u
= 18 u
= 18 x 2
= 36
Answer(s): 36
