Respuesta :

Answer:

They meet up when Amy complete her fourth lap

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy walk around a track one lap in 9 minutes

Chang walk around a track one lap in 12 minutes

The relation between 9 and 12 will give the answer to this question

36 is a minimum common multiple, since

36/9  =  4

And

36 /12 = 3

If Amy do the lap in 9 minutes, in 36 minutes she will do 4 laps

If Chang do the lap in 12 minutes, in 36 minutes will do 3 laps

Then They meet up again when Amy finished 4 laps
