Problema Solution

Sarah, Stacy, and Stephanie work as inspectors on a toy factory assembly line. Sarah inspects the packaging of every 54th doll, Stacy inspects the workmanship of every 30th doll, and Stephanie inspects the clothes of every 45th doll. If they begin working at the same time, which doll will be the first one they will all three inspect?

Answer provided by our tutors

We need to find the least common measure for 54, 30 and 45:

LCM(54, 30, 45) = 270

The 270th doll will be the first doll that all three will inspect.
