A zoo orders food in bulk for its animals. They order enough fresh fruit to last 10 days, enough fresh vegetables for 7 days, and enough dried insects for 5 days. If they last ordered fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and dried insects on January 1, in how many days will they need to order all three items on the same day?​

Answer:

70 days

Explanation:

Given that,

→ fresh fruit to last 10 days

→ fresh vegetables for 7 days

→ dried insects for 5 days

Then in how many days will they order all three items on the same day?

Then the LCM of 10, 7 & 5 is,

→ 2 × 5 × 7

→ 10 × 7 = 70

Hence, the answer is 70 days.
