Sibling Group Calculation

The question asks for the total number of siblings in a family based on the number of sisters and the brothers they have.

Identifying the Number of Sisters

The problem states there are seven sisters in the group.

Determining the Number of Brothers

It is stated that each sister has one brother. This implies that there is only one brother common to all seven sisters. They all share the same brother.

Calculating Total Siblings

To find the total number of siblings, we add the number of sisters and the number of brothers.

  • Number of Sisters = 7
  • Number of Brothers = 1

The total calculation is:

$ \text{Total Siblings} = (\text{Number of Sisters}) + (\text{Number of Brothers}) $

$ \text{Total Siblings} = 7 + 1 $

$ \text{Total Siblings} = 8 $

Therefore, there are 8 siblings in total.
