Can you solve this simple mathematics? Let see who will give us the best answer

Let's break it down:
- 7 men + 7 wives = 14 adults
- Each of the 14 adults has 7 children, so:
- Total children = 14 x 7 = 98
- Total number of people = 14 adults + 98 children = 112

So, the total number of people is 112..

To those getting 63.
The question didn’t say each couple. It said each man and wife

Let's break it down:
- 7 men + 7 wives = 14 adults
- Each of the 14 adults has 7 children, so:
- Total children = 14 x 7 = 98
- Total number of people = 14 adults + 98 children = 112

So, the total number of people is 112


Let's break this down carefully:

Given:

7 men, and each has 7 wives →
Total wives = 7 men × 7 wives = 49 wives

So total adults = 7 men + 49 wives = 56 adults

Each man and each wife have 7 children.


Now here's the trick:
It says each man and each wife have 7 children — this means:

Each of the 7 men has 7 children with each of his 7 wives
→ That’s 7 × 7 = 49 sets of children
And each set has 7 children
→ 49 × 7 = 343 children


So total number of people:

Men = 7

Wives = 49

Children = 343
→ Total = 7 + 49 + 343 = 399 people

Let's break this down carefully:

Given:

7 men, and each has 7 wives →
Total wives = 7 men × 7 wives = 49 wives

So total adults = 7 men + 49 wives = 56 adults

Each man and each wife have 7 children.


Now here's the trick:
It says each man and each wife have 7 children — this means:

Each of the 7 men has 7 children with each of his 7 wives
→ That’s 7 × 7 = 49 sets of children
And each set has 7 children
→ 49 × 7 = 343 children


So total number of people:

Men = 7

Wives = 49

Children = 343
→ Total = 7 + 49 + 343 = 399 people

It’s a great mathematics. I’ll hold this space here.

7 x3 as simple but you see this long character that seun broling, ill soon finish me platform design

Let's break it down:
- 7 men + 7 wives = 14 adults
- Each of the 14 adults has 7 children, so:
- Total children = 14 x 7 = 98
- Total number of people = 14 adults + 98 children = 112

So, the total number of people is 112.

I totally agree with this solution.

40 characters

Total is 63 people.

14 adults, with 49 children.

cos each pair of the adults have 7 children

The number is unknown

Yes because no specific number of people were mentioned

Let's break down the problem step by step:


---

Given:

7 men

Each man has 7 wives
→ So total wives = 7 men × 7 wives = 49 wives


Now, each man and each wife has 7 children.

So:

Children per man = 7 → 7 men × 7 children = 49 children from the men

Children per wife = 7
→ 49 wives × 7 children = 343 children from the wives


Now let’s calculate total distinct people.

> 🚨 Important: Don't double count children. The way it's worded suggests each adult (man or wife) has 7 children, but the children are likely the same (shared). But the statement says each man AND each wife has 7 children. That implies each person (man or wife) has 7 different children.



So, this results in multiple distinct sets of children.

Let’s assume each person has their own 7 children, and those children are all unique.


---

Step-by-step:

Adults:

Men: 7

Wives: 49


Children:

Each man has 7 unique children → 7 × 7 = 49

Each wife has 7 unique children → 49 × 7 = 343


So total children = 49 + 343 = 392


---

Total number of people:

Men: 7

Wives: 49

Children: 392


➡️ Total = 7 + 49 + 392 = 448 people


---

✅ Final Answer: 448 people.

91 may be the answer.
Please, solve your self make we learn

Correct...

Okay try this one for size...


If after a meeting of 10 persons, everyone shakes each other...

How many handshakes occured in that meeting...?

Let's see what u can do..?

Let's break it down step by step:

1. Men:

There are 7 men


2. Wives:

Each man has 1 wife

So, 7 men × 1 wife = 7 wives


3. Children:

Each man and his wife have 7 children

So 7 couples × 7 children = 49 children



---

Now, add them up:

Men = 7

Wives = 7

Children = 49


Total people = 7 + 7 + 49 = 63

✅ Answer: 63 people

Yes if Dangote,Otedola, Alakija et al can. I don't see the relevance where people need money

712 is the correct answer I'm very sure with that
You can a
Ask me why then i will tell you

49 plus 14 is the answer

Giving consideration to each or no each in the statement and a lack of both, or together.

This looks straight forward



Total people = 7 men + 7 wives + (7 men × 7 children) + (7 wives × 7 children) = 7 + 7 + 49 + 49
= 112 people

In this u dnt need to multiply anything....

Just add ... Dnt think it as a complex sum.. it's just an interview question

Answer is 63.
14 parents
49 children.
I am begging for more characters to reach 40

63.
Each family is 9 (man, wife, 7 children) x 7 = 63. That's the answer

7 men each having 1 wife and 1 child; total number of people equals 21

7 men + 7 wives

Each man and a wife has 7 children

So.. it's 7 children x 7 families = 49 children

Then 7 men + 7 wives = 14

Number of people = 49 +14 = 63

Ans= 63 people

Each man 7 children = 7× 8= 56
Each wife 7 children = 7× 8= 56

Total =56 ×2 =112

I am not among the 10% that wasn't elimated.
You people should stop adding pressure to my brain abeg!
Warris all dis na!!

If after a meeting of 10 persons, everyone shakes each other...

How many handshakes occured in that meeting...?

Let's see what u can do..?

Number of handshakes = n(n-1)/2
where n is the number of people.

In this case, n = 10.

Number of handshakes = 10(10-1)/2
= 10(9)/2
= 90/2
= 45

45 handshakes
