Each boat holds 8 people, and there are 3 boats. The ride takes 10 minutes. There are still 150 people in the line, and the ride closes in exactly one hour. Will all the people be able to ride through the Haunted House? If not, how many will not be able to ride?

every 10 min 24 people will get a ride coz (8people x 3 boats)
in an 1 hour you can make six 10 min trip 
therefore 24*6=144
150-144=6 people who won't get a ride
