Question

Mr. Hon purchases a new car every 4 years. Ms. Jasper purchases a new car every 6 years. They both purchased new cars this year. When will they next both purchase new cars in the same year?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mr. Hon purchases a new car every 4 years. Ms. Jasper purchases a new car every 6 years.

Assuming that they purchase new cars together after n years.

So, n must a multiple of 4 as well as multiple 6, i.e the number n is the lowest multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6.

As LCM od 4 and 6 is 12, so n=12.

Hence, after 12 years they will purchase news cars together.
