Both taxis will leave together at 04:18 PM after 04:00 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use the LCM to find the time on which both will leave at the same time,

Given

Departure interval for first taxi = 6 minutes

Departure interval for second taxi = 9 minutes

We have to find the LCM of 9 and 6

So,

Factors of 6: 6,12,<u>18</u>,24,30,36,42,48,54,60

Factors of 9: 9,<u>18</u>,27,36,45,54,63,72

The LCM is 18.

So,

Both taxis will leave together at 04:18 PM after 04:00 PM
