Word Problem

Question

Gabriella volunteers at the hospital every 4th day. She volunteers at the food pantry every 6th day. She volunteered at the hospital and the food pantry both on March 31st. On what date will she next volunteer at both?

Answer 1

To approach this problem, we have to determine the LCM of 4 and 6.

 

4 = 2 x 2

 

6 = 2 x 3

 

The LCM is 2 x 2 x 3= 4 x 3 = 12

 

Twelve days from Mar. 31, which is Apr. 12, is when she will volunteer at both locations on the same day
