Kristen goes hiking every 3 days and swimming every 2 days. She did both kinds of exercise today. How many days from now will she next go both hiking and swimming again?

Respuesta :

Kristen will do both the exercises together, 6 days from now.

We are told that Kristen goes hiking every 3 days and swimming every 2 days.

The day she will do both the exercises together will be the day which is a multiple of the LCM of 2 and 3.

Now, since 2 and 3 are both prime numbers, their LCM (lowest common multiple) will simply be their product, which comes out to be-

LCM (2, 3) = 2 × 3

= 6

Thus, Kristen will do both the exercises on every 6th day.

Thus, if she went for both swimming and hiking today, she will do both the exercises together again 6 days from now.
