Question

Two volunteer groups plant trees.Group A plants the trees in clusters of 3.Group B plants the trees in clusters of 10 both groups plant the same numbers of trees hat is the least number of cluster that groups b plants

Answer 1

I believe the answer would be 30

Answer 2

Both groups will plant same number of trees when both of them plant 30 trees.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Group A plants the trees in clusters = 3

Group B plants the trees in clusters = 10

We have to find that when both the groups will plant same number of tree.

This could be done by finding the lowest common multiple of 3 and 10

Since 3 is a primes number , the LCM is given by:

`LCM = 3* 10 = 30`

Hence, both groups will plant same number of trees when both of them plant 30 trees.

Thus.

Least number of cluster group A will plant =
`(30)/(3)` = 10

Least number of cluster group B will plant =
`(30)/(10)`= 3
