Answer 1

48 days

Explanation:

Given that :

Sumiko runs bleachers every 6 days

Jandella runs bleachera every 16 days

The soonest they will see each other again is in days can be obtained by getting the lowest common multiple of 6 and 16

Multiples of

6 : 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54,...

16 : 16, 32, 48, 64,...

Lowest common multiple of 6 and 16 = 48

Hence, the soonest they'll see each other again is in 48 days
