Question 679018: Clarence and Rhoda are racing around a track. Clarence runs the track in 5 minutes while Rhoda runs it in 6 minutes. If both start at the same time, how many laps will Clarence run before Rhoda meet back at starting place (Presumed that both run in a consistent pace?) Answer by DrBeeee(684) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30. So Clarence will run 6 laps and meet up with Rhoda at the starting point when she completes her fifth lap.
