The eggplant ave. bus passes max's house every 8 mins. the cabb creek bus passes it every 12 mins. the last they passed by together was at 9:00 am. when will it happen again

find the least common multiple

8, 16, 24

12,24

so every 24 minutes

9:00 am + 24 minutes = 9:24am

You are looking for a number that both 8 and 12 will go into which is 24.

thx

you too knight

sorry i meant u too jj

To find out when the Eggplant Ave. bus and the Cabb Creek bus will pass by together again, we need to determine the least common multiple (LCM) of their frequencies.

The frequency of the Eggplant Ave. bus is 8 minutes, while the frequency of the Cabb Creek bus is 12 minutes.

To find the LCM, we can list the multiples of each frequency and find the smallest common multiple:

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, ...

Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, ...

From the lists above, we can see that the smallest common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24. Therefore, the Eggplant Ave. bus and the Cabb Creek bus will pass by Max's house together again every 24 minutes.

Since they last passed by together at 9:00 am, we can calculate the next time they will pass by together by adding 24 minutes to 9:00 am.

9:00 am + 24 minutes = 9:24 am

Therefore, the Eggplant Ave. bus and the Cabb Creek bus will pass by Max's house together again at 9:24 am.
