Question

One trip around the jogging track in Rita's school is 480 yards. Rita can complete one round of the track in 8 minutes. Her friend, Tanu can complete one round of the jogging track in 6 minutes.

If Rita and Tanu start from the same point at the same time, how many rounds would Rita have completed when she and Tanu meet at their starting point again?

Answer 1

Answer:

24 Minutes - 3 Rounds for Rita- 4 for Tanu

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We need to find the lcm of time taken by Rita by Tanu

2. So, LCM of 6 and 8

3. The LCM is 24

4. So Rita will take 3 rounds 8x3 = 24

5. Tanu will take 4 Rounds 6x4 = 24

6. So, they will meet after 24 Minutes or -

7. 3 Rounds for Rita and 4 For Tanu
