    Every 60 days.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is very similar to a sequence.

    try starting out with:

    Abe: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

    Barb: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

    Carl: 3, 6, 9, 12

    Dee: 4,8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36

    Earl: 5, 10, ...

    so If today they all worked together ...

    We need a common multiple of 5, 4, 3 ... so it is 60

    It appears that it will be in 60 days
