Question

Reilly and Samantha work at frosty freeze ice cream shop. Reilly works every other day, and Samantha works every third day. Today they are working together. How many days will it be until the next time they work together?

Answer 1

6 days

Explanation:

Given that Reilly works every other day (This means that she works every 2 days) while Samantha works every third day. Today both of them are working together.

The next day none of them will be working, on the second day only Reilly would be working, on the third day only Samantha would be working, on the fourth day only Reilly would be working, on the fifth day none will be working and on the sixth day both Reilly and Samantha would be working.

This is the same as finding the least common multiple (LCM) of 2 days and 3 days which is 6 days
