Answer:
n = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Of the 40 people, half are women, so there are 20 women.
There are 5 times as many women as men, so 20/5 = 4 are men.
The remainder are children, so there are 20-4 = 16 children.
The ratio of children to men is ...
children : men = 16 : 4 = 4 : 1 = n : 1 . . . . . . . . remove a factor of 4 from 16:4
The value of n is 4.
