Check the solution below:
To solve this problem, let’s break it down step by step.
There are 7 men.
Each of the 7 men has 7 wives.
First, let’s calculate the total number of wives:
7 men ×7 wives / man =49 wives
Now, each man and each wife has 7 children.
Let’s calculate the total number of children each man has (since he has 7 wives, each having 7 children):
7 wives×7 children/wife=49 children per man
Since there are 7 men, the total number of children is:
7 men×49 children/man=343 children
Finally, let’s add up all the people:
7 men
49 wives
343 children
So, the total number of people is:
7+49+343=399
Thus, the total number of people is 399.
