Question

Three boys step off together from the same place.if their steps measure 36 cm,48cm,and 54cm at what distance from the starting point will they again step together?

Answer 1

answer is lcm of 36 , 48 and 54 which is 432 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

From the starting point, All the three boys will again step together at 432 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

One step measure of first boy = 36 cm

One step measure of second boy = 48 cm

One step measure of third boy = 54 cm

Now, They all will meet at all the multiples of the measures of their steps.

But we need to find when they will first meet so for his we will need to find L.C.M. of all the step measures of the three boys.

So, L.C.M. of 36, 48 and 54 = 432

Hence, From the starting point, All the three boys will again step together at 432 centimeters
