Jamie volunteers at the pet shelter every 4 days and at the food pantry every 6 days. If she volunteers at both places on the first day of the month, in how many days will Jamie have to volunteer at both places?

No. Jamies reasoning doesn't make any sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamies reasoning doesn't make any sense.

Because the LCM of 3 and 6 = 6 not 18[since 6=3×2]

LCM is the least common multiple number of two or more numbers.

You will need to make the fractions have a common denominator in order to add or subtract. So 1/6 and 3/5 share a common denominator of 30, making 1/6 into 5/30 and 3/5 into 24/30. So 5/30 plus 24/30 equals 29/30. So, 30/30 (the whole) minus 29/30 equals 1/30, which is the amount of time spent on Sunday.
