Beyond the Answer
To find out when both buses next arrive at the stop together after 11 am, we need to calculate the least common multiple (LCM) of their schedules. Bus A runs every 10 minutes, and Bus B runs every 14 minutes. First, let's break down each bus's schedule: - Bus A: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 minutes (which is 11:10, 11:20, 11:30, 11:40, 11:50, 12:00) - Bus B: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84 minutes (which is 11:14, 11:28, 11:42, 11:56, 12:10, 12:24) Now, we are looking for the smallest number that both schedules share. The multiples of 10 are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, etc., and the multiples of 14 are 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, etc. The first common multiple is 70 minutes. Adding 70 minutes to the starting time of 11 am gives us: 11:00 + 1 hour 10 minutes = 12:10 pm. So, both buses will next be at the stop at **12:10 pm**.
