Respuesta :

Answer: The 36th caller will be the first one to win both

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A radio station is having a promotion in which every 12th caller receives a free concert ticket and every 9th caller receives a limo ride.

To find which caller would be the first one to win both, we will find the LCM.

Prime factorization of 9 and 12:

12 = 3x 2x 2

9 = 3x 3

[tex]LCM(12,9)=3\times2\times2\times3=36[/tex]  [Where LCM=Least common multiple]

Therefore, the 36th caller will be the first one to win both.
