When do the tours stop?

Jorge · Answer 2

Answer: It means the tours leave at the same time after every 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of every minutes that tours for the national capital leave = 15 minutes

Number of every minutes that tours for the White house leave = 20 minutes

We need to find the number of minutes, the tours leave at the same time.

So, to leave for the same time = L. C. M. of 15 and 20 = 60 minutes

Hence, It means the tours leave at the same time after every 1 hour.
