Answer 1

Answer:

4:18 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

An airport offers 2 shuttles that run on different schedules.If both shuttles leave the airport at 4:00 p.m.,at what time will they next leave theairport together.

Shuttle A leaves every 6 minutes

Shuttle B leaves every 9 minutes

Solution

To solve for when next both shuttles will leave the airport together, find the least common multiples of 6 minutes and 9 minutes

Shuttle A (every 6 minutes) = 6, 12, 18, 24

Shuttle B (every 9 minutes) = 9, 18, 27, 36

The least common multiples of 6 minutes and 9 minutes is 18 minutes

4:00 pm + 18 minutes

= 4:18 pm

The next time both shuttles will leave theairport together is 4:18 pm of the same day
