How many days after this Monday will all of them meet at the tennis court again?

Respuesta :

Answer:

They will all meet at the tennis court again in 60 days after this Monday.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two events, A and B, happen every x and y days, respectively, they will happen on the same day in each lcm(x,y) days. lcm(x,y) is the lesser common multiple of x and y which is not 0.

In this question:

Jerry each 6 days.

Sam each 10 days.

Leo each 12 days.

Multiples of 6: {0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60,...}

Multiples of 10: {0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, ...}

Multiples of 12: {0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60,...}

The lesser common multiple is 60.

So

They will all meet at the tennis court again in 60 days after this Monday.
