Carrie goes hiking every 8 days and swimming every 11 days. She did both kinds of exercise today. How many days from now will she next go both hiking and swimming again?

To get our answer, we just have to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 11. In this case, it's 88, because that's the smallest number that 8 and 11 are both factors of.

Hope this helped! :D
