Two different buses start their routes at the same corner at 9 A. M. Buses from one route stop at the library every 9 minutes. Buses from the other route stop at the library every 12 minutes. In what number of minutes will both buses end up at the library?

In 36 minutes both buses will end up at the library.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Buses from one route stop at the library every 9 minutes.

Buses from the other route stop at the library every 12 minutes.

The number of minutes in which both buses will end up at the library= LCM(9,12)

Now , 9= 3 x 3

12= 2 x 2 x 3

LCM(9,12) = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

1. minimum

2. 6400

3. eight

hope this !
