Answer:

Saturday

Explanation:

First we have to find the LCM of 3 and 4

It is 12, so we know that she will jog and swim every 12 days

This time was Monday, so 12 days after Monday will be the day she both jog and swims.

12 days after Monday is Saturday, so the next time she jogs and swims is Saturday.

Hope this helped

Sorry if it's wrong
