An indoor water park has two giant buckets that slowly fill with 1000 gallons of water before dumping it on the people below. On

Determine the least common multiple of 14 and 16.

14 = 7*2   ----> multiply by 8 ----> 8*7*2 = 112
16 = 8*2 ----> multiply by 7  -----> 7*8*2 = 112

The LCM equals 112. It will take 112 minutes until both buckets dump water simultaneously.

112 min = 1 hr 52 min

3:20 plus 1hr 52 min gives you 5:12

Next time, add another 112 minutes

Answers: 5:12 PM and 7:04

In this case, you’ll want to determine the least common multiple of 14 and 16, which is 112 (minutes)
now simply add this duration to the indicated time, resulting in
5:12 pm
