- Runners circle
Pepa circles the track in 36 seconds. Kamil in 42 seconds. They started together. How many seconds will we meet again at the start? - Returning 27121
Two gears – one smaller and one larger rotate so that the teeth of both wheels mesh together. The first wheel has 18 teeth, the second 27. How often does each wheel turn before returning to its starting position? - Returning 44201
Four gears with 21, 49, 35, and 14 teeth mesh together. If one of them rotates, the other also rotates. How many times does each rotate before returning to their position at the start? - Tractor wheels
The tractor's front wheel has a circumference of 18 dm and the rear 60 dm. We will make a red mark on the lowest point of both wheels. The tractor then starts. At what distance from the start will both marks appear identically at the bottom again?
- Two gears
The gearbox will use a large gear to turn a smaller gear. The large gear will make 75 revolutions per minute, while the smaller gear must make 384 revolutions per minute. Find the smallest number of teeth each gear could have. [Hint: Use either GCF or LCM - On a
On a someday, the Sun, Venus, and the Earth are in eclipse, i. E. Venus is between the Sun and the Earth. Venus orbits the Sun in 225 days. In how many years will all three bodies be in alignment again?
