At the gym Merl swims every 6 days, runs every 4 days and cycles every 16 days. If she did all 3 activities today in how many days will she do all 3 activities again on the same day

Respuesta :

Answer:

48 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Swim = every 6 days

Run = every 4 days

Cycles = every 16 days

Find the lowest common multiple of 6, 4 and 16

6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48

4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48

16 = 16, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160

The LCM of 6, 4 and 16 is 48

Therefore,

If she did all 3 activities today, she will do all 3 activities again in the next 48 days
