Answer:
9:30 am
Step-by-step explanation:
We can make a chart and keep filling it in until we see the same time in both columns.
Bus A Bus B
7:00 7:00
7:30 7:50
8:00 8:40
8:30 9:30
9:00 10:20
9:30
Answer: 9:30 am
We can also use the least common multiple of 30 and 50.
We need to find the smallest number that is a multiple of both 30 and 50.
30 = 2 * 3 * 5
50 = 2 * 5^2
LCD = 2 * 3 * 5^2 = 150
The first time the buses will be at the depot together after 7:00 am is 150 minutes later. 150 minutes = 2 hours 30 minutes.
7:00 am + 2 hours and 30 minutes = 9:30 am
Answer: 9:30 am
To answer this question, you do 5 2/3 divided by 1/2. First, change 5 2/3 to 17/3. Then, use the reciprocal method by doing 17/3 times 2/1, which gives you 34/3. That’s 11.3 repeating, so they can make 11 whole snowmen.
You can answer this problem in two different ways: the first being (17 - 5) * x, and the second being 12 * x.
