Fresh produce is delivered to a restaurant every 4 days. Every 6 days, the restaurant receives a delivery of dried and canned goods. If the produce and dried and canned goods were delivered today, how many days will pass until they are all delivered to the restaurant on the same day again?

Answer
A
2 days
B
6 days
C
12 days
D
24 days

Explanation

The deliveries will coincide again after a number of days that is a multiple of both 4 and 6. The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12, so both types of goods will be delivered together again in 12 days; the correct choice is 12 days.
