Sagot :

Answer: 6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a lowest common multiple question. So we list the multiples

20                   8

40                   16

60                   24

80                   32

                      40

40 is our lowest common multiple. Which means every 40 minutes they flash and chime together.

so if we add 40 minutes onto 08:00 we get 08:40 and if we add it again we get 09:20 and again we get 10:00 and again we get 10:40 and again we get 11:20 and again we get 12:00. We have to stop here as if we add 40 minutes again we will go over the given time of 12:30. If we count how many times it was added. this adds to 6. therefore the answer is 6.  

hope this helped.

How many times the clock will chime and light flash together?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of a group of numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers.It is the lowest common multiple question. So we list the multiple

20                   8

40                   16

60                   24

80                   32

                     40

40 is our lowest common multiple. This means every 40 minutes they flash and chime together.

so if we add 40 minutes onto 08:00 we get 08:40 and if we add it again we get 09:20 and again we get 10:00

and again we get 10:40 and again we get 11:20 and again we get 12:00. We have to stop here as if we add 40 minutes again we will go over the given time of 12:30.

If we count how many times it was added. this adds to 6. therefore the answer is 6.  

Therefore the clock will chime and the light flashes together 6 times.
