Question 1134523: two buses arrive at the central avenue bus stop at 8 a.m. the route for the city loop bus takes 35 minutes, while the route for the by-pass bus takes 20 minutes. what is the next time that the two buses will both be at the central avenue bus stop? Answer by ikleyn(52772) (Show Source):
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the numbers 35 and 20 is 140.
So, the two buses will be together at the bus stop next time in 140 minutes = 2 hours and 20 minutes,
i.e. at 10:20 am.
