Question

three pigs entered a race around a track. piggly takes 6 minutes to run one lap. piglet takes 3 minutes to run one lap and it takes wiggly 5 minutes to run one lap. if all three pigs begin the race at the same time, how many minutes will it take for all three pigs to be at the starting point

Answer 1

6 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes
we need to find the lowest common multiple of these numbers.

6 : 6,12,18,24,30
3: 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30
5: 5,10,15,20,25,30

30 is ur lowest common multiple...so they will all meet at the starting point in  30 minutes...hooray for piggly, piglet, and wiggly :)
