Henry visits the library once every 6 days while James visits it once every 4 days. Both meet each other at the library for the second time on Thursday. On which day of the week did they meet each other for the first time?

Sagot :

Answer:

They met on Sunday for the first time.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be found out by taking the LCM

The factors of 6 = 1*2*3

The factors of 4= 1*2*2

LCM = 2*2*3= 12

They both will meet on the 12 day for the second time.

If Thursday is the 12th day  then counting backwards , they met on Sunday for the first time.
