    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let c represent the number of children, then

    number of men = 4c and number of women = 2c

    Sum the numbers of each and equate to 266

    4c + 2c + c = 266, that is

    7c = 266 (divide both sides by 7)

    c = 38

    Thus

    4 * 38 = 152 and 2 * 38 = 76

    The group consists of 38 children, 152 men and 76 women
