Answer:

32 adults.

Explanation:

At the very least, there are 4 children for every 2 adults. That means that, at the very least, there are 6 people in one group to get into the fun fair.

96 / 6 = 16

So, there are 16 groups trying to get into the fun fair, with 2 adults in each group. 2 * 16 = 32 adults are in the queue.

Hope this helps!
