Six bells start ringing together and ring at intervals of 2, 4, 6, 8 10 and 12 seconds respectively. In 12 minutes, how many times do they ring at the same time?
This is a LCM question. The bell that rings every 12 seconds will ring 60 times in 12 minutes. Because the bells that rings every 2, 4, and 8 seconds are factors of 12, they will also ring at these times, so we don't have to count these. The LCM of 8, 10 and 12 is 120, so every 2 minutes, these bells will ring at the same time. So in 12 minutes, the bells will ring 6 times together.
