Answer:

144 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To do solve this question, we must find the LCM (least common multiple) of 12, 16, and 18.

Let's start by prime factorizing (finding the prime factors) all the numbers.

[tex]12\rightarrow3*4\rightarrow2*2*3[/tex]

[tex]16\rightarrow4*4\rightarrow2*2*2*2[/tex]

[tex]18\rightarrow2*9\rightarrow2*3*3[/tex]

Now, we must find the greatest quantity of each [prime] number and multiply them together to obtain the least common multiple.

Upon further evaluation of the [prime] factors, we can see that we need four 2s and two 3s. Therefore...

[tex]2*2*2*2*3*3=2^4*3^2=16*9=144[/tex]

They will be fired together again after 144 seconds.
