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 it down carefully.

Given:

7 men

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

Each man and each wife has 7 children

So now we calculate the children:

Each man has 7 children

So 7 men × 7 children = 49 children

Each wife also has 7 children

49 wives × 7 children = 343 children


But here’s the trick:

Are these children shared or individual?
From the wording:

> "Each man and each wife have 7 children"



This implies each couple (man + wife) has 7 children together.

So:

Each man has 7 wives → that's 7 couples per man

Total number of couples = 7 men × 7 wives = 49 couples

Each couple has 7 children → 49 couples × 7 children = 343 children


Now total people:

7 men

49 wives

343 children

✅ Total = 7 + 49 + 343 = 399 people


✅ Final Answer: 399 people.

Each man has a wife means 7 couples and each coupl have 7 kids simple 7 *7 equals 49

Could the answer be 21?
Since each man and wife have seven children.

The number of wives is just 7. They use Queens English confuse people.

(7 men) has (7 wives) literally means One wife per man

7 children ×7=49
7men+7 women= 14

Total=63 people

Check out my own insights
“ 7 men have 7 wives “
That means each man has a single wife and vice versa, meaning 7+7 adults and 7 couples
“ Each man and each wife have 7 children “
Each couples (man+wife) has 7 children, then the children is 7x7
So the total number of people is 7+7+7x7

- 7 men + 7 wives = 14 adults
- Each of the 14 adults has 7 children, so:

- 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


✅ Answer: 399

the 49 wives are married to how many men to have the 49 sets of children?

bigpicture001:
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..?

45. We use combination here. 10C2. That is 10!/(10-2)!(2!)

bammyllonaire:
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

. I think this is the more likely rational answer given each couple have 7 kids each.

Answer na 21.

7+7+7 = 21

Don’t you think it’s more acceptable to give the figure and calculation to prove an existing solution wrong?

Assume that's 2 people per family,
7 pairs = 14 people
7 children per pair = 49
49+14 = 63 people..

7 men

Each of the 7 men has 1 wife → 7 wives

Each man and his wife has 7 children
→ That’s 7 sets of children, one per couple
→ 7 children × 7 couples = 49 children

Total people:
7 men

7 wives

49 children

✅ Total = 7 + 7 + 49 = 63 people

Let's put it this way:
One man + one wife + 7 children = 9 people (One family)
Therefore, 7 families will amount to 63 people.
So I think the total number of people is=63

Kalu77:
Each man has a wife means 7 couples and each coupl have 7 kids simple 7 *7 equals 49

the children are 49. What about the couples? You left that group out

bigpicture001:
In this u dnt need to multiply anything....

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

u need to multiply bro. Each man has 7wives, so all the men have 49 wives

The answer is 63

We have 7 families comprising 7 men and 7 wives and each family had 7 children totalling 49 plus 7 men plus 7 wives, altogether, we have 63

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

63 people
7+7= 14. (7 men +7 wife)
7 ×7= 49. ( 7 family × 7 children each)
14+49 = 63.

• Each man has 1 wife → 7 wives
• Each man and his wife have 1 child → 7 children

Total:
• Men: 7
• Wives: 7
• Children: 7

Total people = 7 + 7 + 7 = 21

✅ Answer: 21 people

Ans:

7+7 (men +wives)
14 (total adults)
14÷2=7 (divide to each family)
7 ×7 =49 (each family by their respective children equal to 49 children.)

Therefore, 49 +14 = 63 (children and their parents)

ANSWER =63 PEOPLE IN TOTAL.

Question
7 men has 7 wives, each wives has 7 children, how many people?

Solution
1 man has 7 wives

1 wife has 7 children, ( multiply by 7 wives) to give children per 1 man

1man and 7 wives has 49 children.

Total population for family of 1 man is
1+7+49= 57

Total population for family of 7 men is
58 x 7= 399

Total people in the question is

399. Final answer.

My submission; The answer to your question is 63 people.

There are 7 men.
Each man has a wife, so there are 7 wives.
Each man and each wife has 7 children. Since each couple (1 man and 1 wife) has 7 children, we calculate the total number of children as:7 couples (since there are 7 men, each with a wife) × 7 children per couple = 49 children.

Now, add up all the people:Men: 7
Wives: 7
Children: 49

Total number of people = 7 (men) + 7 (wives) + 49 (children) = 63.Final Answer: The total number of people is 63.

GABRIEL6036:
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.

yeah you tried,we know u used chatgpt to solve this

I gat 63 people in total

Logically, 1 man and 1 woman can't have 7 children each to themselves.

It’s a tricky question yet very simple.

So since 7 men have 7 wives. Each man and each wife have 7 children

To break it down!
1 man =7 wives I.e 7*7 =49 wives

So there’s now total number of 56 parents(7+49)

Number of children will be 392 because each family has 7 children each (56*7)

I.e the total number of children is 392 add to 56 which will give us 448
The answer is 448.
