Question

Tram leaves Piccadilly to Eccles every 9 minutes and to didsbury every 12 minutes. A tram to Eccles and a tram to didsbury both leave Piccadilly at 9am. At what time will a tram to Eccles and a train to didsbury next leave picadilly at the same time?

Answer 1

See, the lowest common multiple of 9 and 12 is 36.
So the trams will leave together 36 minutes after they have left together the first time.
So it will be 36 minutes after 9 am.
So the time is 9:36 am.
