Answer:

20 minutes

Given


Pavilion: 4\ minutes


Green\ House: 10\ minutes

Required

Determine the time they both arrive together

To do this, we simply determine the common multiple of both numbers:

Start by listing the multiples of 4;


4: 4,8,12,16,20,24,28......

Next, list the multiples of 10


10: 10, 20, 30,40, 50......

Their common multiple is: 20

Hence, they'll both arrive at 20 minutes
