Question

Ryan and his brother are at a carnival. They separate from each other at the ferris wheel at 1:00 PM, and they agree that they will each meet back at the ferris wheel from time to time to see whether the other is ready to leave. Ryan checks the ferris wheel every 15 minutes. His brother checks in every 24 minutes. At what time will they meet at the ferris wheel again. (Hint: Don't forget you're looking for a time)

Answer 1

3:00pm

Explanation:

The idea hear is to find the least common multiples of 15 and 24

Given that they separated at exactly 1:00pm

the multiples are

15= 15,30,45,60,75,90,105,120

24= 24, 48,72,96,120

the multiples common is 120

Therefore they will meet in 120minute, which is 2 hours time \

hence the time will be 3:00pm
