Question

In a stadium there are 960 persons. If the number of men is two times the number of women and the number of women is three times the number of children, find how many men are there?
​

Answer 1

children=x     

men=3x       

women=2(3x)=6x         

x+3x+6x=960    

10x=960     

x=96(children)       women=96*6=576                                                                  

therefore there are 576 women in the hall

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no of children in a stadium be x .

then, no of women= 3x

and,no of men= 2(3x)

total no of people = x+3x +6x

= 10x

but total no of people= 960

since,10x=960

x= 960/10

= 96

total no of men= 6*96= 576
