I think will be 12 the least common multiple of 4 and 3. So that means every 12th day. Is this right ms.sue
Every 12th
day of school
To find out how many school days pizza and tacos will be served on the same day, we can use the concept of finding the common multiples of 4 and 3.
To find the common multiples, we can list out the multiples of each number and look for the common ones:
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, ...
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, ...
From the list, we can see that the first common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12. This means that pizza and tacos will be served on the same day every 12 school days.
Therefore, pizza and tacos will be served on the same day every 12 school days.
