Answer: If two radio stations start commercials at 10 AM , then at 10:24 AM the stations will have commercials.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: One station plays every 12 minutes the other every 8 minutes.
The minimum time at which both stations have commercials = lcm (12 and 8 )
12 = 2 x 2 x 3
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
LCM( 12 and 8)= 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24
The minimum time at which both stations have commercials = 24 minutes
If two radio stations start commercials at 10 AM , then at 10:24 AM the stations will have commercials.
