Answer 1

Answer:
12 days

Step-by-step explanation:
So what the question us a king us to do is find the LCM (lowest common multiple).

We can list all the multiples of 4 and then 6, and then find the LCM.

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24

They both have 12 and 24 as their common multiple.
We have got to find the lowest common multiple, which is 12 as it is smaller than 24.
