84 days will pay before they both do their chores again on the same day.
Ross mows the lawn       Annie bathes the dog 
12 x 1 = 12                          21 x 1 =  21
12 x 2 = 24                          21 x 2 =  42
12 x 3 = 36                          21 x 3 =  63
12 x 4 = 48                          21 x 4 =  84
12 x 5 = 60                          21 x 5 = 105
12 x 6 = 72                          21 x 6 = 126
12 x 7 = 84                          21 x 7 = 147
12 x 8 = 96                          21 x 8 = 168
12 x 9  = 108                       21 x 9 = 189
12 x 10 = 120                      21 x 10 = 210
