3/8 of people at a fun fair were children 3/4 of the remaining people were men there were 140 more children than women how many people went to the fun fair

The fraction of children was 3/8

The remaining fraction was 1-3/8=5/8

the fraction of men was 3/4*5/8=15/32

the fraction of women=1/4*5/8=5/32

given that the there were 140 more children than women, the fraction represented by this is:

3/8-5/32

=7/32

thus the total number of people who were there was:

1 / (7/32) * 140

=640

The answer is 640
