Answer: 20ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of candies = 7

Number of kids = 4

Since each kid must receive at least one candy ;

Therefore number of candies left to ration is

7 - 4 = 3 candies ; among 4 kids.

To share 'n' identical object among 'r' number of individuals can be expressed in the form :

[n+(r-1)Cr-1]

n = 3 ; r = 4

[3+(4-1)C4-1] = 6C3

Recall: nCr = n! / (n-r)!r!

6C3 = 6!/(6-3)!3!

6C3 = 6!/3!3!

= (6 * 5 * 4) / (3 * 2 * 1)

= 120 / 6

= 20ways
