Respuesta :

Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using Lowest Common Factor method

Find and list multiples of each number of minutes( 12 and 10 minutes) until the first common multiple is found. This is the lowest common multiple.

Multiples of 10:

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

Multiples of 12:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84

Therefore,

LCM(10, 12) = 60

The number if minutes until they both drip again is 60 minutes
