One taxi leaves at a stop at every 6 minutes a second taxi leaves the stop every 9 minutes if they leave at 4.00 p.m at what time will they next leave together

Respuesta :

Both taxis will leave together at 04:18 PM after 04:00 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use the LCM to find the time on which both will leave at the same time,

Given

Departure interval for first taxi = 6 minutes

Departure interval for second taxi = 9 minutes

We have to find the LCM of 9 and 6

So,

Factors of 6: 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60

Factors of 9: 9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72

The LCM is 18.

So,

Both taxis will leave together at 04:18 PM after 04:00 PM
