Answer 1

Answer:

38 men are more than the children

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of men in choir = 285*5/15 = 95

No. of children in choir = 285*3/15 = 57

So the difference between no. of men and children = 95 - 57

1. 15unit -285
2. 1 unit-285/15=19
3. so no. men-19*5=95
4. no. of children =3*19=57
5. diff. 95-57=38
