A circular track is 1000 yards in circumference. Cyclists A, B, and C start at the same place and time, and race around the track at the following rates per minute: A at 700 yards, B at 800 yards, and C at 900 yards. What is the least number of minutes it mus take for all three to be together again?
Answered by Steve
B gains 100 yards every minute. So, after 10 minutes, B has lapped A once.

C gains 100 yards on B every minute, so after 10 minutes C has lapped B.

Thus, after 10 minutes, A has gone 7 laps, B has gone 8 laps, C has gone 9 laps, and all are even again.
