You can put this solution on YOUR website! If two people start walking the track at the same time and place. One person takes 6 minutes to walk one lap and the other takes 8 minutes to walk one lap.
After how many minutes will you be at the same place on the track?
How many laps will one and how many laps will the other have walked at that time?
:
Find the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8, obviously it's 24
therefore
They will be at the same place in 24 minutes
One will complete exactly 3 laps, while the other completes 4 laps
