Change fraction into units.
Make the numerators the same.
LCM of 4, 1 and 2 = 4
4 x 17 x 1 of the men =
1 x 44 x 4 of the women =
2 x 29 x 2 of the children
47 of the men =
416 of the women =
418 of the children
Men : Women : Children

(c)
Number of children = 18 u
(d)
Difference between the number of women and men
= 16 u - 7 u
= 9 u
