Question

The task of counting the number of people in a large room is assigned to a man. He counted the number of legs and the number of hands and wrote 392 in his notebook. It was also reported that no disabled person was in the room. Can you help that man figure out the number of people in that room?

Answer 1

Total numnber of legs and hands $=392$
The number of hands and legs of a person $=2+2=4$

Number of people in that room = Total numnber of legs and hands $÷$ The number of hands and legs of a person
$=392÷4$

Let's divide 392 by 4 using long divison method
$=392÷4=98\text{R}0$
Hence, the total number of people in that room is 98.
