Question

Brad and Stella volunteer to help at the party. Brad volunteers at the prize table and Stella

volunteers at the refreshment table. Both workstations allow volunteers a short break, but at
different intervals. The prize table allows volunteers a short break every 20 minutes, but the
refreshment table allows a short break only every 30 minutes. If the party is scheduled to start
at 2:00 pm and Brad and Stella both start working then, what is the first time that they will be
on break together? Show all work.

Answer 2

If the prize table takes a break every 20 minutes it should eventually get a break in an hour

The refreshment table get a break every 30 minutes so it will take a second break in an hour

At 60 minutes they will be able to have a break together
