sandra brings cheese and crakers for lunch every 6 days, and lily brings cheese and crakers every 8 days. if they both brought cheese and crakers today, how many days will it be before both girls bring cheese and crakers again

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 8?

answer

B 24

wait I'm wrong its D

but its still 24

To find out when both Sandra and Lily will bring cheese and crackers again, we need to determine the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8. The LCM is the smallest multiple that both numbers evenly divide into.

The prime factorization of 6 is 2 * 3, and the prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2. To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either factorization:

LCM = (2 * 2 * 2) * 3 = 24

Therefore, it will be 24 days until both girls bring cheese and crackers again.
