Question 1032218: Matt and Dan cycle around a track. Each lap Matt cycles takes him 50 seconds. Each lap Dan cycles takes him 80 seconds.
Dan and Matt start cycling at the same time at the start line.
Work out how many laps they would of done next time they would of done when they are at the start line together. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need the LCM ( least common multiple )
I believe it is
Matt cycles 8 laps, which totals 400 sec, and
Matt is back at start line with Dan
Dan cycles 5 laps, which totals 400 sec, and
Dan is back at start line with Matt
