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

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

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

Okundaye4:
Total is 63 people.

14 adults, with 49 children.

cos each pair of the adults have 7 children

citylantern:
To find the total number of people, we need to count the men, their wives, and their children.
There are 7 men.
Each man has a wife, so there are 7 wives.
Each man and each woman (i.e., each couple) have 7 children. Since there are 7 couples, the total number of children is 7 couples × 7 children per couple = 49 children.
Now, we sum the number of men, wives, and children:
Men: 7
Wives: 7
Children: 49
Total number of people = 7 + 7 + 49 = 63.
Therefore, the total number of people is 63.

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.

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