there are 30 boxes to be moved out of a house bob can carry 3 boxes at a time pedro can carry 2 boxes at a time and jameelah can carry 1 box at a time if each person takes and equal number of trips how many trips will be needed to move all of the boxes
Bob can carry 3 boxes per trip.
Pedro can carry 2 boxes per trip.
Jameelah can carry 1 box per trip.
3+2+1 = 6 boxes can be carried per trip. How many trips will be necessary for each person to make?
To determine the number of trips needed to move all of the boxes, we can divide the total number of boxes by the number of boxes each person can carry at a time.
Bob can carry 3 boxes at a time, Pedro can carry 2 boxes at a time, and Jameelah can carry 1 box at a time. Since they need to take an equal number of trips, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of their carrying capacities.
The LCM of 3, 2, and 1 is 6. This means that each person needs to make 6 trips to move all of the boxes.
To calculate the number of trips needed, we divide the total number of boxes (30) by the LCM (6):
30 boxes รท 6 trips = 5 trips
Therefore, it will take 5 trips for Bob, Pedro, and Jameelah to move all of the boxes.
