Joy Rodriguez · Answer 1

Add the people in line.

15 + 9 = 24

Divide the total number of people by 6 since 6 can ride each time.

24/6 = 4

It needs to run 4 times for everyone in line to have a ride.

Samuel Kaiser · Answer 2

The roller coaster will need to run 4 times.

Explanation:

If there are 15 adults and 9 children, then we know that they're 24 people in total on the line (15 + 9 = 24). Now, we divide 24 by 6, because there are 24 people and a roller coaster holds up to 6 people. 24/6 = 4, therefore the roller coaster will need to run 4 times.
