Patsy has cheerleading practice on every fourth school day. She wants to be in the school play, but they have practice on every sixth school day. If both started on September 5th, what would be the first date that she has to choose between cheerleading and play practice?

I have no idea what to do or where to start? I have no help but you guys. Please help?

Omg I hate math that ,made no sense

Can somebody please make it more clear im Stressing out

what's the smallest number divisible by both 4 and 6?

12

But that does not solve the problem. What is the date 12 school days after Sept.5?

12 school days is 2 weeks + 2 days. So, if 9/5 is M-W, you will only have two weekends to count. If it's Thu or Fri, you have a 3rd weekend to include.

And what about Labor Day?

Patsy has a cheerleading practice every fourth day. She wants to be in school play, but they have practice every sixth day. If both starting September 5th, what would be the next date she has to choose between cheerleading and play practice? Show your work and explanation. Please I need the answers or I will fail again 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😒😒😒😒😒😿😿😿😿

Connexus shopkin do you do connections academy???

Cheer: 5, 9, 13, 17,

Play: 5, 11, 17
She will have to choose one or the other on the 17th

quit flexing steve

2020 isnt the best year are u from connection academy

this is a bruh moment is wrong when it comes to the play practice days. he/she added 5 each time instead of six.

so the answer is 17

She will have to choose only one on the 25th.

Cheer leading days are:5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25th
Play practice days are:5, 10,15,20, an 25th
Both activities take place on the 25th, therefore, the 25th of November is your answer
on cheerleading days the number increases by 4 and on play days the number increases by 6 every time

2020 anyone?πŸ™„πŸ₯±

πŸ‘‡

The answer the Sep. 17

Explanation:
1. First we have the first days she goes to her practices (4 and 6)

2. Now we need to find the least common factor of 4 and 6

4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28
6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30

Do you see the least common factor?

Now we have the number 12, BUT also in the problem they gave us another date. Sep. 5, now you can assume we can add 12 to Sep 5 to get our finale answer.

(12+5=)

And there you go, hope this helps!

i strongly agree with Macy be nice to them even if they got the wrong anwser. They tried to help but sadly failed so plz be nice.

She will have to choose only one on the 25th.

Cheer leading days are:5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25th
Play practice days are:5, 10,15,20, an 25th
Both activities take place on the 25th, therefore, the 25th of November is your answer
on cheerleading days the number increases by 4 and on play days the number increases by 6 every time

Least Common Multiple for 4 and 6 is 12 that is LCM(4, 6) = 12

12 days after September 5th is September 17th

September 17th will be the first date that she has to choose between cheerleading and play practice.

how thinks Christmas is the best holiday????????

this makes no sense

Ok, but why is everyone being mean to people from Connexus!

migition red

Fire bird

Ok tysm @everyone but wtf is the right answer 17 or 21 I still don't get it.

Least Common Multiple for 4 and 6 is 12 that is LCM(4, 6) = 12

the answer is the 17th.

17 is wrong

@~lily~ i need the answer aswell :/

it would be hard for her anyways because in 2020 she starts on a saturday and in 2021 it would be on a sunday she does not have any free time

the answer is September 17th but everybody is disliking them if you go to connexus then yes this is the answer -.-

My answer: 17

I did 4 + 5 = 9 + 8 = 17
(Connexus 6th grade only)
(Please use in your own words copy and paste is a honor code violation)

the answer is 17, if she has cheerleading practice and her play stuff, she would have to go on the 11-12 and then it would go up to 17

The answer is 17. Cheerleading is every 4 days so it starts on the 5th day which would be 5, 9,13,17

The play is every 6 days so it would be 5, 11,17. So she would have to choose on the 17th

answer is 29 for connexus

helpppp

She will have to choose only one on the 25th.

Cheer leading days are:5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25th
Play practice days are:5, 10,15,20, an 25th
Both activities take place on the 25th, therefore, the 25th of November is your answer.

Start with finding the lowest common multiple

Now, if you had said "earliest possible" date, then we'd have 9/21.

Which would be 2 ? then what ?

It's September 21st

0kay?

@Allison...posting answers to Connections assessment questions is also an Honor Code violation.

it is 21

Omg, I was confused and I did not understand anything, but thx to @Naruto Uzumaki, I got an A, maybe your test is different and you may get a different answer but that is that. Just listen to this-

12 days after September 5th is September 17th, September 17th will be the first date that she has to choose between cheerleading and play practice.
What do you get from that????

17 is the answer
