Three pigs entered a race around a track. piggly takes 6 minutes to run one lap. piglet takes 3 minutes to run one lap and it takes wiggly 5 minutes to run one lap. if all three pigs begin the race at the same time, how many minutes will it take for all three pigs to be at the starting point

The number of minutes it will take for all three pigs to be at the starting point is; 30 minutes

Number of pigs in the race = 3 pigs

Time for pigly to run one lap = 6 minutes

Time for piglet to run one lap = 3 minutes

Time for Wiggly to run one lap = 5 minutes

Factors of 6 = 1, 2, 3, 6

Factors of 3 = 1, 3

Factors of 5 = 1, 5

Thus;

LCM = 2 × 3 × 5

LCM = 30

Thus, in conclusion the 3 pigs will be at the starting point again after 30 minutes.
