Question 255060: If 100 bushels of corn is distributed so that each man receives 3 bushels, each woman 2 bushels, and each child 1/2 bushel, how many men, women and children are there? Answer by Greenfinch(383) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think we need more information.
You could have 33 men and 2 children (99 + 2x 1/2 = 100)
You could have 50 women and no one else 2 x 50 = 100
There need to be other constraints to arrive at a single solution.
