There were 546 people in line to ride The Goliath roller coaster when the line was closed. If the roller coaster has 15 rows that can hold 4 people each, what is the minimum (least) amount of times that it must run in order for everyone to ride?

Answer: It has to run at least 10 times to carry everyone.

Explanation:

15 * 4 = 60

It can hold 60 people per ride

546/60 = 9.1

It has to run at least 10 times to carry everyone.
