You can put this solution on YOUR website! Three bells toll together and they begin to toll at intervals 1.6, 2.7 and 1.2 minutes respectively.
Find the number of times the first bells will toll up to the time when three bells toll together again
-------------------
Three bells toll together and they begin to toll at intervals 96, 162 and 72 seconds respectively [sic]. "{respectfully is not needed, contributes nothing}

Find the number of times the first bells will toll up to the time when three bells toll together again
---
The next time they toll together is the LCM of the 3 times.
- 32*81 = 2592 seconds
---
2592/96 = 27 tolls
2592/162= 16 tolls
2592/72 = 36 tolls
--------
Add those.
Not clear which of the tolls are counted. If it's the "start" but not the last one, subtract 3.
