Answer:

6

Explanation:

4/5 of the people at the picnic are children. There are 24 children. So 24 is 4/5 of the whole. You ÷4 to find 1/4. This is 6. So you add on the 6 as 1/4 add 4/5 equals the whole number of people there are at the picnic, 5/5. 24 add 6 is 30 so there are 30 le e at the picnic, and 6 adults.
