I have a bucket with 100 stones and 5 children that use it for decorate their sand castles.
Every child pick up a stone repeatedly every a certain span of time, every child is independent from the others, more children can pick up a stone in the same time, there are 5 children in totals:
Eric pick up a stone every 5 minutes
Mark pick up a stone every 10 minutes
Lara pick up a stone every 7 minutes
Emma pick up a stone every 3 minutes
Frank pick up a stone every 3 minutes
How many minutes exactly we need for empty the bucket?
To be more clear: after 10 minutes, Erick has up two stones (minute 5 and minute 10), while Emma has 3 stones (minute 3, 6 and 9).
So after 10 minutes the children have 2 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 10 stones in total, there are 90 stones in the bucket
