Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The least number of days it will take each person to save the same amount of money is 4 days.

Given:

amount of money Steve saves everyday = 9 dollars

amount of money Maria saves everyday = 12 dollars

To Find:

the least number of days it takes for them to save the same amount of money

Solution:

to find the least number of days it takes for them to save the same amount of money we first need to find the LCM of 9 and 12,

9 = 3 × 3

12 = 3 × 2 × 2

LCM = 3 × 3 × 2 × 2 = 36

now, Steve will save 36 dollars in 36/9 = 4 days

and Maria will save 36 dollars in 36/12 = 3 days

Thus, the least number of days it will take each person to save the same amount of money is 4 days.
