    2 traffic lights are turned on at the same time. 1 blinks every 4 seconds and. the other blinks every 6 seconds. In 60 seconds how many times will they blink at the same time?

    We want the least common multiple of 4 and 6 which is 12.

    So ever 12 seconds, both lights blink together:
    1. 12
    2. 24
    3. 36
    4. 48
    5. 60
    So our answer is 5 times
