Question

Bus A and Bus B leave the bus depot at 5 pm.
Bus A takes 30 minutes to complete its route once and bus B takes 35 minutes to complete its route once.
If both buses continue to repeat their route, at what time will they be back at the bus depot together?
Assume the buses have no breaks in between routes.
Give your answer as a 12-hour clock time

Answer 1

Answer:

THEY WILL MEET AT THE SAME POINT AT 8:30 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

TIME TAKEN BY BUS A=30 MINUTES

TIME TAKEN BY BUS B=35 MINUTES

FRIEND,

TO FIND THE TIME WHEN THEY WILL BE BACK AT THE SAME TIME,

WE HAVE TO FIND THE LCM

SO,

LCM OF 30 AND 35=210 MINUTES

CONVERTING 210 MINUTES TO 12 HOUR CLOCK TIME=3HR30MINS

SO,

THEY WILL MEET AT THE SAME POINT AFTER 3HR30MINS

WHICH IS AT 8:30 PM

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION
