Answers
Answer
To find out how many minutes it will take for Brendan, Miguel, and Jeron to complete a lap at the same time, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of their lap times.
The LCM of 4, 6, and 3 is 12.
This means that Brendan will complete 3 laps (12 divided by 4) in 12 minutes, Miguel will complete 2 laps (12 divided by 6) in 12 minutes, and Jeron will complete 4 laps (12 divided by 3) in 12 minutes.
Therefore, it will take 12 minutes for Brendan, Miguel, and Jeron to complete a lap at the same time.
