    152 men 76 women 38 children

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The ratios given are ...

    men : women : children = 4 : 2 : 1

    The total number of ratio units is 4+2+1 = 7, so each unit stands for 266/7 = 38 persons.

    Then the numbers of each were ...

    men : women : children = 4·38 : 2·38 : 1·38 = 152 : 76 : 38

    There were 152 men, 76 women, and 38 children.
