Algebra.Com's Answer #523350 by htmentor(1343)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! In order to solve, we first need to find the LCM (least common multiple) of 4, 5, and 6 \n" ); document.write( "The prime factors are \n" ); document.write( "4: 2,2 \n" ); document.write( "5: 1,5 \n" ); document.write( "6: 1,6 \n" ); document.write( "So the LCM is 60. \n" ); document.write( "That means every 60 seconds (1 minute) they blink together. \n" ); document.write( "There are 30 minutes in a half hour, so they blink together 30 times. \n" ); document.write( " |
