You can put this solution on YOUR website! At 10am, Joseph and Adam start to walk around the oval.
If they keep walking at the same rate, when will they pass each other at the starting point if:
:
A) Joseph takes 7 minutes while Adam takes 5 minutes to walk around the oval once.
the least common multiple of 7 and 5 is 35 min
At 10:35, J completes 5 rounds and A completes 7 rounds
;
B) joseph takes 6 minutes while Adam takes 8 minutes to walk around the oval once
The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24 min
At 10:24, J completes 4 rounds while A completes 3 rounds
