Tammy, Penelope and Victoria were each given a piece of streamer of equal length. Tammy cut hers into equal lengths of 3 m, Penelope cut hers into equal lengths of 6 m, and Victoria cut hers into equal lengths of 8 m. If there were no remainder in each case, find the shortest length of streamer given to each of them.
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24
Shortest length of streamer given to each of them
= Lowest common multiple of 3 m, 6 m and 8 m
= 24 m
Answer(s): 24 m
