Answer:

After 88 seconds, they will blink together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time after which the first light blinks = 8 seconds

Time after which the second light blinks = 22 seconds

Initially, both the lights blink together.

To find:

The time at which they will blink together again.

Solution:

Let us have a look at the time after which each light will blink.

First light will blink after:

8 s, 16 s, 24 s, 32 s, 40 s, 48 s, 56 s, 64 s, 72 s, 80 s, <em>88 s</em>, 96 s, 104 s, ......

Second light will blink after:

22 s, 44 s, 66 s, <em>88 s</em>, 110 s, .....

It can be seen that common time is 88 second, at which the both will blink together.

So, the answer is <em>88 s.</em>

<em></em>

This answer can also be computed by taking the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of both the numbers i.e. 8 and 22.

Using the factorization method:

8=\underline{2}\times 2\times 2

22=\underline{2}\times 11

Common is 2.

Therefore the LCM will be:

2\times 2\times2\times 11 = \bold{88}

So, the answer is <em>88 s.</em>
