Answer:
The soonest they will see each other again is in 48 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Sumiko and Jandella ran the bleachers together today at Poly High School. Sumiko runs these same bleachers every 6 days and Jandella runs them every 16 days. The soonest they will see each other again is in days.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, Sumiko and Jandella ran the bleachers together today, that is, they saw each other today.
Sumiko runs the bleachers every 6 days while Jandella runs them every 16 days
To determine how soon they will see each other again, we will list the days they will run the bleachers separately.
For Sumiko, she will run the bleachers on the
6th, 12th, 18th, 24th, 30th, 36th, 42nd, 48th, 54th, 60th, etc days after today.
For Jandella, she will run the bleachers on the
16th, 32nd, 48th, 64th, 80th, etc days after today.
From above, they will both run the bleachers on the 48th day after today.
Hence, the soonest they will see each other again is in 48 days.
