Ken and Hamid run around a track.
It takes Ken 80 seconds to complete a lap.
It takes Hamid 60 seconds to complete a lap.
Ken and Hamid start running at the same time from the start line.
How many laps will they each have run when they next meet on the start line?

Answer

To find out when Ken and Hamid will next meet at the start line, we need to determine the least common multiple (LCM) of their lap times.

The LCM of 80 and 60 seconds is 240 seconds.

In 240 seconds:

  1. Ken will have completed 240 / 80 = 3 laps.
  2. Hamid will have completed 240 / 60 = 4 laps.

Therefore, Ken will have run 3 laps and Hamid will have run 4 laps when they next meet on the start line.
