1 a) A restaurant is open 24 hours a day. The manager wants to divide the day into work shifts of equal length. The shifts w=should not overlap. All shifts durations should be a whole number of hours. Describe the different ways this can be done.



b) The manager turns on the restaurant's two neon signs at the same time. Both signs blink as they are turned o. One blinks every 9 seconds. The other sign blinks every 15 seconds. In how many seconds will they blink together again?

Respuesta :

The possible answers for the restaurants are Three 8-hour shifts; four 6-hour shifts; six 4-hour shifts.

2. The seconds that they will blink together again is 45 seconds.

How to illustrate the information?

Here we have to determine the factors of 24 for the shifts i.e.  1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 .

A 1-hour shift does not make much sense; most employers will also not use a 2-hour or 3-hour shift.

Restaurants typically do not use 12-hour shifts either, and employers do not use 24-hour shifts either.

Since both signs blink as they are turned on and one blinks every 9 seconds. The other sign blinks every 15 seconds. The least common multiple is 45.
