38 children, 76 women, and 152 men

Joseph Lucas · Answer 2

there are 38 children, 76 women and 152 men

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children be x. then the number of men will be 4x and women 2x. the total is

266 = x+2x+4x

266 = 7x

x = 38 children

there are 38 children; 2 (38) = 76 women and 4*38 = 152 men
