<h3>Answer:   60 minutes</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the LCM of 4 and 5, which are the first two items of the list.

  • multiples of 4 are: 4,8,12,16,20,24,...
  • multiples of 5 are: 5,10,15,20,25,...

The smallest item in each list is 20, so the LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.

We can replace the "4,5" in the list "4,5,12,15" with "20". So our new list would be "20,12,15".

We then repeat the process of finding the LCM of the first two items

  • multiples of 20 are: 20,40,60,80,...
  • multiples of 12 are: 12,24,36,48,60,72,...

LCM of 20 and 12 is 60.

The list "20,12,15" condenses to "60,15".

Repeat this process of finding the LCM once more and you'll find the overall LCM is 60.

Therefore, the LCM of the entire set {4,5,12,15} is 60. This is the smallest multiple shared by all four values. Interestingly enough, the outer values pair up to multiply to 60, and so do the inner values.

4*15 = 60

5*12 = 60

The bells ring together every <u>60 minutes</u>

In other words, all of the bells ring together at the same time every hour (perhaps at the top of every hour; eg at 7:00 pm and at 8:00 pm, etc).

<h3>Answer: 19</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Draw out a number line. Plot -7 and 12 on the number line. Draw in the tickmarks between them. You should find the distance from -7 to 12 is 19 units since you need to go 19 spaces from either -7 to 12, or vice versa.

You can use subtraction to get

-7-12 = -19

or

12-(-7) = 12+7 = 19

The final result is made positive since negative distance does not make sense.

So you'd have |-7-12| = |-19| = 19 or |12-(-7)| = |19| = 19.

All of this only works because the two y coordinates are the same, which makes a horizontal line through the two given points.
