Hi, I am in 10th grade, and I am taking AP Biology. Anyways, we were discussing the max. amount of biological children a woman can potentially have. I could not find this information anywhere and need help finding this; it's extra credit.
If you could please find me the answer, and a website to back it up, I would really appreciate it.

but if you think a girl starts her period around the age of 13 and has it till about 50. Thats about 37 years. which is 444 monthes. Then if she has a baby every 9 monthes thats about 49-50 children but also after the age of 25 she is at a higher risk of having mulitples
in the end i would say anywhere from 60-70 is the max provided she had no more than a few sets of twins and triplets

Then find how many months that is, and divide that number by 10 (9 monthfor pregnancy, 1 month for the new fertilization), that should give you the number of max children a woman can have.
