Each time the carousel runs, 11 children

can ride it. If 50 children want to ride
the carousel, what is the fewest number
of times that the carousel needs to
run?

Answer: 5 times

Step-by-step explanation: 11 goes into 50 four times. That means that the first four times the carousel runs, 11 kids will be on it. But since six ungrateful children were left out, the carousel will need to run one extra time so those brats can get a turn.
