Fraction of the people that were children at first
= 1 -
34 =
14 Number of adults remains unchanged. Make the number of adults the same. LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.
Total number of people at first = 8 u
8 u = 176
1 u = 176 ÷ 8 = 22
Number of children who joined halfway
= 5 u - 2 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 22
= 66
Answer(s): 66
