It takes Ryan 9 minutes and it takes Chris 8 minutes to complete one lap around the track. If the children continue running around the track at the same speed, in how many minutes will the three pass each other

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In 72 minutes, all 3 will pass eachother at the same
place and time
--------------
+72%2F12+=+6+
+72%2F9+=+8+
+72%2F8+=+9+
So Alesia will have gone around 6 times
Ryan will have gone around 8 times
Chris will have gone atround 9 times
