Basic 5th Grade Math
I can not figure out these two word problems:
A restaurant has two neon signs. Both are turned on at the same time and both blink as soon as turned on. One sign blinks every 9 seconds and the other blinks every 15 seconds. In how many seconds will they both blink together again? The school cafeteria serves pizza every sixth day and applesauce every eighth day. If pizza and applesauce are both on today's menu, in how many days will they be served together on the menu again? And if you can explain how you did it, I will be very grateful! |
