Peter,Sam,Sandy and Isabel work at a kennel.
Peter gives the baths the dogs every 4 days;
Sam cleans the cages every 6 days;
Sandy feeds the animals every 2 days;
and Isabel helps mop the floor every 3 days.
How many times in 12 weeks will all 4 helpers be at the kennel?
:
What is the least common multiple of 4,6,2,3?, it would be 12, right?
Every 12 days all would be there
:
In 12 weeks:
12 * 7 = 84 days, therefore they will be together 7 times in 12 weeks
