Let adults be x and children be y, then
20x = 24y
x = 6/5y

Let the number of children be a, then
15x + ay = 24y
15(6/5y) + ay = 24y
18y + ay = 24y
18 + a = 24
a = 24 - 18 = 6

Therefore, 6 children can ride with 15 adults.

How many ways are there to put 6 balls in 3 boxes if the balls are distinguishable but the boxes are not?
FromTheMoon [43]

This is essentially asking how many different ways to partition 6 into 3 segments.


I am assuming "no ball in a box" is not allowed.


6 can be partitioned as

(4,1,1), (3,2,1), and (2,2,2)


So, calculate each partition, we get

(6 choose 4) + (6 choose 3)*(3 choose 2) + (6 choose 2) * (4 choose 2)

= 15 + 20*3 + 15*6

=165
