Answer:
Number of men on sight-seeing = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of women = w
Let number of children = c
Let number of men = m
(given)
w = 5x and c = 2x for some integer x (since number of people have to be an integer)
Given also that
c = 5y and m = 11y for some integer y
The number of women on the tour was less than 30
That is 5x < 30;
x < 6 (After dividing both sides by 5)
But c = 2x and c = 5y.
Since c is a multiple of 5, 2x has to be a multiple of 5 e.g. 10
We got x < 6 earllier
Using x = 5, c = 2*5 = 10
So, 10 = 5y
Dividing both sides by 5
10/5 = 5y/5 ⇒ 2 = y
Number of men, m = 11y = 11*2 = 22
