In order to find how many times they will blink at the same time we need to find the common multiple of 4 and 6 between 1 and 60.

The first bulb blinks after every 4 seconds, means it blinks in multiple of 4.

The multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60.

The second bulb blinks after every 6 seconds, means it blinks in multiple of 6.

The multiples of 6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60.

The common multiple of 4 and 6 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60.

∴

in sixty seconds they will blink 5 times at the same time.

If 30 buses can carry 1,500 people, how many people can 5 buses carry? A 200 © 500 B 250 D 750​
maksim [4K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}

\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500

Solve for x. It is being multiplied by 30. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 30.

30x/30=7500\\x=250

5 buses can carry 250 people.
