Patsy has cheerleading practice every fourth day. She wants to be in the school play, but they have practice every sixth day. If both start on September 5th, what would be the next date she has to choose between cheerleading and play practice. help me PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
just tell me the right answer I am a parent trying to tell my son what it is
I already answered how you can do this problem. What is the smallest number that both 4 and 6 can both go into evenly? Add that value to September 5th. I have demonstrated how to solve this problem. Now your job is to do it. Think it out.
hey you better put that thum up or i am calling the person who runs this sight
Isaac-Joshua, we know you are not a p4r3nt. Stop and think about it yourself. I may be a hypocrite for saying that, but you clearly need it. 💉
To determine the next date Patsy has to choose between cheerleading and play practice, we need to find the common multiples of 4 and 6, starting from September 5th.
The multiples of 4 go: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and so on.
The multiples of 6 go: 6, 12, 18, 24, and so on.
The first common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12. Therefore, on September 5th, Patsy would have cheerleading practice on day 4 and play practice on day 6.
After 12 days, there will be another date where she has to choose.
Counting from September 5th, the 12th day would fall on September 16th. So, on September 16th, Patsy would have cheerleading on day 16 and play practice on day 18.
Hence, the next date she has to choose between cheerleading and play practice would be September 16th.
