Answer:

1) both lights will blink at the same time every 20 seconds

2)Both lights will blink at the same time every 36 seconds

3) How to determine when 2 lights will blink together is that you must find the least common factor (LCM) of both numbers and when both hit the same number then that is when both lights blink at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example for number 1 we have 4 and 5 seconds when the lights blink

4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20...

5: 5, 10, 15, 20...

we see that the LCM factor is 20 and that is when both lights will hit at the same time.
