Ashley and Becky both start jogging at the same point along a path in the park. It takes Ashley 12 minutes to jog one complete lap along the path, and it takes Becky 8 minutes to jog one complete lap along the path. After how many minutes will Ashley and Becky both be at their starting point on the path again?

24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ashley = 12 minutes

Becky = 8 minutes

Required

Determine when they will be at the same point again

To do this, we simply determine the least common factor of both.

Ashley = 12, 24, 36, 48

Becky = 8, 16, 24, 32

From above, the least common factor is 24

Hence, both of them will be at the starting point in 24 minutes

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
