Answer 1

Answer:

6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Leo = 36 sec / rev

Stan = 40 sec/rev

Required

Determine the time (in minutes) they'll meet again

We start by getting the multiples of 36 and 40 uptil we get a common multiple.

Leo: 36 = 36, 72, 108, 144, 180, 216, 252, 288, 324, 360, .....

Stan: 40 = 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320, 360....

From above, the common multiple is:

Common Multiple = 360

This means that they'll meet at 360 seconds

Convert to minutes

360 sec = 360/60 mins

360 Seca = 6 mins

Hence,it will take them 6 minutes to meet again at the starting point
