Answer:

  • At 4:24 p.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the lowest number that is divisible by both 6 and 8.

  • LCM(6, 8) = 24

So, next time is after 24 minutes and every 24 minutes after that.

  • 4: 00 p.m. + 24 min = 4:24 p.m.

Answer:

Solution :-

For finding next time a red line and a blue line bus will leave together we will find LCM of 6 and 8.

LCM = (6,8) = 24

Now,

Let's find add the time to LCM

[tex] \tt \: 4 : 00 + 0 : 24 = 4 : 24[/tex]
