Frankie has guinea pigs, a land tortoise, and a hamster. The hamster needs 4 oz of food every 6 hours. The guinea pig needs 12 oz of food every 12 hours. The land tortoise needs to be fed 24 oz every 24 hours. What hour do all animals get fed at the same time if Frankie starts at 6:00 Am?

Answer 1

The hour all animals get fed at the same time if Frankie starts at 6:00 Am is 6:00 pm

Common multiple

• Hamster 4oz of food = 6 hours
• Guinea pigs 12oz of food = 12 hours
• Land tortoise 24oz of food = 24 hours

Find the lowest common multiple

• 6 hours = 6, 12, 18, 24
• 12 hours = 12, 34, 36
• 24 hours = 24, 48, 72

The lowest common multiple of 6, 12 and 24 is 12

if Frankie starts at 6:00 Am?

6:00 am + 12 hours

= 6:00 pm

Therefore, the hour all animals get fed at the same time if Frankie starts at 6:00 Am is 6:00 pm
