Basically, we need to find the lowest common multiple of 6 and 9....and that would be 18.
so 18 minutes from 4 p.m. is 4:18 p.m. <===
Answer:
4 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time taken for them to have the same number of strawberries be x minutes.
<u>Initially</u>
Ruby: 10 strawberries
Sapphire: 30 strawberries
<u>After x minutes</u>
Ruby: (10 +3x) strawberries
Sapphire: (30 -2x) strawberries
Since we let x minutes be the amount of time that has passed when they have the same amount of strawberries,
10 +3x= 30 -2x
Bring all x terms to one side, constant to the other:
3x +2x= 30 -10
Simplify:
5x= 20
Divide both sides by 5:
x= 20 ÷5
x= 4
∴ It will take 4 minutes.
Answer:
3(x-10)=15
