Answer 1

Answer: 12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the question, we have to list the multiples of 3 and 4. This will be:

3 = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30

4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40.

The lowest common multiple is 12.

It will take 12 days before Korey runs and swims again on the same day.
