HELP NEEDED ASAP

Answer 1

They will both be getting their car washed in 60 days.

Toney: 15, 30, 45, 60
Brown: 20, 40, 60
Count the amount of days (or multiply) until the days for both match up

Answer 2

They both get their cars washed on every 60th day.


You can solve this equation by finding the lcm (least common multiple):

15 30 45 60 75 90 105

20 40 60 80 100

The lowest common multiple is 60 as it is the first multiple the two have in common.

So, in sixty days, they’ll both get their car washed again
