Part c· 3 steps
Determine the next date when all four children will visit their parents on the same day.
Identify the visiting intervals for each child.
Musa visits every 15 days.
Amina visits every 18 days.
Kato visits every 24 days.
Sarah visits every 30 days.
They all last visited on January 1st.Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the visiting intervals.
We need to find the LCM of and 30.
Prime factorization:
The LCM is .
So, they will all visit on the same day every 360 days.Calculate the next common visit date.
Their last common visit was January 1st.
The next common visit will be 360 days after January 1st. Assuming the current year is a leap year (e.g., 2024), February has 29 days.
Counting 360 days from January 1st:
January: 31 days (remaining )
February: 29 days (remaining )
March: 31 days (remaining )
April: 30 days (remaining )
May: 31 days (remaining )
June: 30 days (remaining )
July: 31 days (remaining )
August: 31 days (remaining )
September: 30 days (remaining )
October: 31 days (remaining )
November: 30 days (remaining )
December: The th day of December.The next date when all four children will visit their parents on the same day is .
Part d· 3 steps
State whether the parents should organize the thanksgiving lunch before the end of March.
Recall the condition for organizing the lunch.
The parents plan to organize a thanksgiving lunch only if the next common visit falls before the end of March.
Compare the next common visit date with the end of March.
The next common visit date is December 25th.
The end of March is March 31st.Conclude based on the comparison.
Since December 25th is after March 31st, the condition is not met.
The parents should .
