Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"men' is represented by the number '2'

 if there are fewer than 8, the next lowest number divisible by 2 is '6'

    or 3 x 2

then women would be 3   x 5    = 15     and children 3   x 7 = 21

                            21 + 15 = 36   is a perfect square

 so there is  15 women in the room
