Kentucky Derby
Answer : One minute
AI
says
Let's
find the time it takes for each horse to complete one lap, and then
determine when they will meet back at the starting line.
1.
Secretariat: 1 lap per minute
2.
Seabiscuit: 1/2 lap per minute (since Seabiscuit can run two laps per
minute, it takes 1/2 minute for one lap)
3.
Northern Dancer: 1/4 lap per minute (since Northern Dancer can run four
laps per minute, it takes 1/4 minute for one lap)
Now,
we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the times it takes
for each horse to complete one lap.
The LCM is the smallest positive number that is divisible by each of
the given numbers.
LCM(1,
1/2, 1/4) = 1
So, it
will take 1 minute
for all three horses to meet back at the starting line.
