4 steps

Let's count the members of the family:

  1. Count the adults.

    • There is 1 husband.
    • There are 2 wives.
  2. Count the daughters.

    • The phrase "each have 4 daughters" refers to the total number of daughters in the family unit. So, there are 4 daughters in total.
  3. Count the sons.

    • "Each daughter has 2 brothers" means that there are 2 sons in the family. All the daughters share these same 2 brothers.
  4. Calculate the total number of family members.

    Total members = Husband + Wives + Daughters + Sons
    Total members = 1 + 2 + 4 + 2
    Total members = 9

    There are 9 people in the family.
