    Friday

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Jerry = Every 6 days.

    Sam = Every 10 days

    Leo = Every 12 days.

    Required.

    If they meet on Monday, when next (day) will they meet

    First, we need to get the multiple of 6, 10 and 12.

    6 = > 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72 ...

    10 = > 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 ...

    12=> 12, 24, 36, 48, 6o, 72, 84, 96 ...

    The common factor between the multiples of 6, 10 and 12 is 60.

    This represents the LCM.

    It implies that they'll meet on the 60th day after their last meeting on Monday.

    To get the day, follow the steps below.

    Since there are 7 days a week

    So, there are 60/7 weeks in 60 days

    60/7 = 8 weeks 4 days

    Recall that the last day they met was a Monday.

    Hence, there next meeting will be 4 days after Monday.

    4 days after Monday = Friday
