Question

8 Madison has two plants. She waters the spider plant every 4 days and the cactus every 6 daysShe water bo November 30. What is the next day that she will water both plants?

Answer 1

Two plants

Spider plant 4 days

Cactus plant 6 days

Then find when

4X = 6Y

find m.c.m (minimum common multiple) of 4 and 6

m.c.m (4,6) = 12

SO therefore, if both plants were watered November 30, then

add 12 days to Nov 30

12 days after Nov 30 = December 12
