Question

The Christmas lights on the tree and the lights on the porch blink at a consistent rate. The tree lights blink every 4 seconds which the porch lights blink every 6 seconds after how many second will they blink together

Answer 1

The tree lights and the porch lights will blink together every 12 seconds.

Explanation:

In order to determine when the two sets of lights will blink together, you must find the least common multiple (LCM) of the time periods for each set of lights. The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12, which means that the tree lights and the porch lights will both blink again after 12 seconds have passed. Therefore, they will blink together every 12 seconds.
