Answer:

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.
