More maths…

A train starts running from Leeds to York at 7am.

The last train leaves at midnight.

Platform 1 has a train leaving from it every 12 minutes.

Platform 2 has one leaving from it every 5 minutes.

How many times in the day would there be a train leaving from both platforms at the same time?

Here is today’s problem solving question, as promised… good luck all…

  1. I’m not sure but I think the answer is 24. Because 24 hours are 1440 minutes, 5 and 12’s least common multiple is 60. So, 1440 divided by 60 is 24.
    answer: 24
