Women |
Men |

11 |
1 |
3 u |
11 u |
1 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 4 and 12.
LCM of 4 and 12 = 12
Number of women = 11 u
Number of children = 3 u
Number of more women than children
= 11 u - 3 u
= 8 u
8 u = 16
1 u = 16 ÷ 8 = 2
Total number of people
= 3 u + 11 u + 1 u
= 15 u
= 15 x 2
= 30
Answer(s): 30
