Kendra has a math test every 12 school days and a vocabulary test every 9 school days. She had both a math test and a vocabulary test today. The next time she will have both tests on the same day will be in ە school days.

of 9 & 12?
Miracrown (miracrown):
Let’s look at what we have here we are given the numbers 12 and 9
for those, you will need to try and find the LCM, for Least Common Multiple
can you try that?
OpenStudy (acxbox22):
yes of 9 and 12
since they just had both today we can just find our LCM and that will be the number of days where she will have both again
OpenStudy (january123):
well idk let me think
OpenStudy (january123):
36
