Question

Garrrett Warren is training 2 new dogs. He trains the first dog, Buddy, every 4 days and the second dog, Julie, every 6 days How often will he be training both Buddy and Julie on the same day

Answer 1

Hi Lili;

Buddy...every 4 days

Julie...every 6 days

B/4=J/6

The common denominator is 12 because (3)(4)=12 and (2)(6)=12.

(3B)/12=(2J)/12

Every 12 days he will train both dogs at the same time.
