Answer:

It will take 12 days for them to jog together

Explanation:

Notice that Pedro jogs once every 4 days, so his pattern is: 4 * n

while Logan does it every 6 days with a pattern of 6 * m

we want those patterns to coincide so they jog together, that is:


4\,n = 6\,m\\(n)/(m) =(6)/(4)= (3)/(2)

Therefore, when n=3 and m=2 we will have that their patterns coincide.

That is : for Pedro 4*3=12, and for Logan 6*2=12

Therefore,in 12 days they will jog again together
