Question

Incredibly, Enzo wins 5 tickets from every game, and Beatriz wins 11 tickets from every game. When they stopped playing games, Enzo and Beatriz had won the same number of total tickets.

What is the minimum number of games that Enzo could have played?

Answer 1

Enzo must have played 11 games.

Explanation:

Since Enzo earns 5 tickets from every game and Beatriz wins 11 tickets from each game, we have to find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) since they earned the same amount of tickets when they stopped.

The LCM of 11 and 5 is 55.

To see how many games they both played we have to divide the amount of tickets they earn each time from the LCM (55).

Since Enzo earns 5 tickets from each game and both Enzo and Beatrice earned 55, Enzo must've played 11 games.

(If that makes sense lol)
