Answer:

Sara and Andy will meet at the shopping mall once ( 1 time) in the month of December and January

Explanation:

December + January

= 31 days + 31 days

= 62 days

How many times will they meet in the mall in the month of December and January ?

We can solve this by finding the common factors of 6 days and 7 days in the month of December and January

Sara (every sixth day) = 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66

Andy (every seventh day) = 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63

The common factor is 42

Therefore, Sara and Andy will meet at the shopping mall once in the month of December and January
