Ramon and Justine are watching different broadcasts of a parade on television. The broadcast Ramon is watching airs commercials
every 17 minutes. The broadcast Justice is watching airs commercials every 14 minutes. Both broadcasts started at 7:00 a.m. and are scheduled to end at 9:00 a.m. When will commercials air on both broadcasts at the same time? Explain your reasoning.
Since there is a short difference between the starting and ending times, we calculate the schedule of each commercial and then compare the broadcasting times.
Commercials of the broadcast Ramon is watching air at:
7.17, 7.34, 7. 51, 8.08, 8.25, 8. 42 8.59 a.m.
Commercials of the broadcast Justice is watching air at:
7.14 7.28 7.42 7. 56 8.10 8.24 8.38 8.52 a.m.
we can check that there are no matching commercial times.
The commercials will not air on both broadcasts at the same time in the interval 7:00 a.m to 9:00. a.m
A cube has 6 sides and to find the surface area you would multiply one side by 6, or add the six sides together. So instead, to find the length of one side, you divide the surface area, 96, by 6 to get 16.
