There are flags planted along a forest. There
are blue flags planted every 10 miles and there
are purple flags planted every 20 miles. If the
forest is 300 miles long, how many times will
there be a blue and purple flag in the same
spot?

Answer:

15 times there will be a blue and purple flag in the same spot

Step-by-step explanation:

300 miles / 10 miles = 30 blue flags in total

300 miles / 20 miles = 15 purple flags in total

There will be at least one blue flag for every purple flag. Since there is 15 purple flags in total, there will be 15 times this can occur.

I have attatched a demonstration of my thoughts to this post.
