Counting · Grade 4

One hundred lockers are numbered in order. Every fourth locker is marked red, and every sixth locker is marked blue. How many lockers have at least one mark?

  2. Count lockers with two marks only once.
Show the answer and solution

Answer: 33

A red mark appears on 25 lockers and a blue mark on 16. Eight lockers whose numbers are divisible by 12 were counted twice. Therefore, 25 + 16 − 8 = 33.
