Change fraction into units.
Make the numerators the same.
LCM of 4, 1 and 2 = 4
4 x 15 x 1 of the men =
1 x 44 x 4 of the women =
2 x 211 x 2 of the children
45 of the men =
416 of the women =
422 of the children
Men : Women : Children
5 : 16 : 22

(c)
Number of children = 22 u
(d)
Difference between the number of women and men
= 16 u - 5 u
= 11 u
