Fraction of the people that were adults at first
= 1 -
38 =
58 Number of children remains unchanged. Make the number of children the same. LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.
Total number of people at first = 16 u
16 u = 384
1 u = 384 ÷ 16 = 24
Number of adults who joined halfway
= 13 u - 10 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 24
= 72
Answer(s): 72
