A neon sign blinks every 6 minutes, and another sign blinks every 8 minutes. How often do they blink at the same time?A. Every 14 minutesb. Every 24 minutesc. Every 48 minutesd. Every 2 minutes

b. Every 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A neon sign blinks every 6 minutes, and another sign blinks every 8 minutes.

The first step is to:

Find and list multiples of each time each neon sign blinks.

This means, we find the Multiples of 6 and 8

Multiples of 6:

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36

Multiples of 8:

8, 16, 24, 32, 40

The first and common multiple of 6 and 8.

Therefore, the Least common multiple [LCM(6, 8) ] = 24

Hence, they often blink at the same time every 24 minutes.

Therefore, option b.Every 24 minutes is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
