A teacher takes 5 children on a field trip to a geological museum. As a souvenir, the group receives a bag of stones. When the teacher divides the stones evenly among the children, each child receives exactly 24. If 6 children had been present, how many stones would each child have received?

You do 24 times 5 to find out how many stones were in all. Which is 120. Then you take 120 and divide it by 6 students which is 20.
