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.

Miracrown (miracrown):

Can you please tell me what that symbol before the last "school days" is?

OpenStudy (january123):

that's just what i used for blank

Miracrown (miracrown):

Is that like a blank space or an input you have to fill in?

OpenStudy (january123):

yes

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

you are just finding the LCM

OpenStudy (january123):

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

Miracrown (miracrown):

Yes, that's it

Miracrown (miracrown):

That is the LCM for those numbers and that is the answer you need :)

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

so yes in 36 days she will have both tests again

Thank's
