I beg to differ, I still read it 3 ways. Therefore 3 answers
7 men have 7 wives which means there are 7 couples, 7 +7 = 14.
If each couple has a child, that’s 14 + 7 = 21.
Mt first answer is 21.
7 men have 7 wives, that means they have one wife each ,7 + 7 = 14.
Each wife has 7 children, 7 x 7 = 49.
Add the men and wives, 49 + 14 = 63.
My second answer is 63
If EACH of the 7 men had 7 wives each, 7 x 7 = 49 wives.
Add the 7 men, 49 + 7 = 56.
Then add the number of children, 7 x 7 x 7 =343.
Then add the number of men and wives to the children, 343 + 56 = 399.
My third answer is 399
