The school cafeteria serves tacos every 12th day and chicken every 9th day. If tacos and chicken are both on today's menu, how many days will it be before they are both on the menu again?

Answer :

Answer:

36 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Just a guess but the LCM of 9 and 12 is 36

Answer:

36 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to list the multiples of both 12 and 9 to determine when they first coincide:

(a) 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96

(b) 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81

The first multiple both numbers have in common is 36. Therefore, it will be 36 days before tacos and chicken are both on the menu again.
