At 4.45 pm, James, Leo and Noah are at the starting point of a 400-metre circular path.
James takes 8 minutes to walk 1 round,
in 1 minute 1/8 of round
Leo takes 180 seconds to run I round = 3 minutes
1/3 minutes 1 round

while Noah cycles 2 rounds in 3 minutes.
1 round 1.5 minutes
1 minute 2/3 rounds
1/8 , 1/3 , 2/3
Take LCM
LCM =24
So 24 minutes after 4.45 pm they will be at the starting point.

Find the time when all three of them will next meet at the starting point.

Leo makes one round every 3 minutes, and Noah makes 2 rounds every three minutes. So Leo and Noah are both again at the starting point every 3 minutes starting at 4:45 pm.

James takes 8 minutes to make one round; Leo and Noah are both back at the starting point every 3 minutes. The least common multiple of those times is 24 minutes.

So 24 minutes after the start is the first time that all three will again be at the starting point.

ANSWER: 24 minutes after the start at 4:45 pm, making it 5:09 pm
