In a village the number of houses and the number of flats are in the ratio 7 : 4 the number of flats and the number of bungalows are in the ratio 8 : 5 There are 50 bungalows in the village. How many houses are there in the village?

first combine into one ratio by finding lowest common multiple between common category so houses:flats:bungalow = 14:8:5. then for every 5 bungalows to every 14 houses so 50/5 = 10 and 10 x 14 = 140. so there are 140 houses
