Stoplight A changes color every 45 seconds and Stoplight B changes color every 80 seconds. Both stoplights changed color 60 seconds ago. After how many seconds will the stoplights change color at the same time again.​

9514 1404 393

  660 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple of 45 seconds and 80 seconds is ...

  45×80/GCF(45,80) = 45×80/5 = 720

The next change will be 720 seconds after the last one, so 720 -60 = 660 seconds from now.

Additional comment

You can find the least common multiple by looking at the factors of 45 and 80:

The LCM will include one copy of the common factor and all of the unique factors:

  LCM(45, 80) = 5×9×16 = 720

You can see that the greatest common factor is 5, and that the LCM is the product (5×9)(5×16) divided by 5:

  LCM(a, b) = a×b/GCF(a, b)

$29

Step-by-step explanation:

A PS5 costs $500. Subtract 500 from the total cost:

645 - 500 = 145

There are 5 games in total, costing $145 in all. Assuming all of them have the same price, simply divide 145 with 5:

145/5 = 29

Each game costs $29.
