Given :

Ronald and Tim both did their laundry today, June 1st.

Ronald does his laundry every 6 days

Tim does his laundry every 9 days

The number of days of June = 30 days

so, the days that Ronald did his laundry are : 1 , 7 , 13 , 19 , 25 , 30

And the days that time did his laundry are : 1 , 10 , 19 , 28

so, the number of days they do their laundry on the same day = 2

Another solution:

The multiple of 6 are : 6 , 12 , 18 , 24 , 30

the multiple of 9 are : 9 , 18 , 27

The common multiple = 18

so, the answer is they do their laundry at 1 , 19

So, the answer is 2 days
