Mary is passing out school supplies to students in the class. She gives colored pencils to every second student, markers to every third student, and crayons to every fifth student. The second student received all three. Which student will be the next to receive all three?

Answer 1

To determine the next student who will receive all three supplies (colored pencils, markers, and crayons), we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the numbers 2, 3, and 5.

The LCM of 2, 3, and 5 is 30.

Therefore, the next student to receive all three supplies will be the 30th student in the class.

Answer 2

Note: This assumes that there are at least 30 students in the class. If there are fewer students, then the next student who will receive all three supplies will be determined by finding the LCM of the three numbers and adding that result to the number of the second student (who received all three supplies) until a student number within the class is reached.
