Craig is training for a race. He bikes every 2 days and swims every 3 days. If he biked and swam today, how many days will pass before he bikes and swims on the same day again, the least common multiple of the numbers of days?

Craig’s biking days repeat every 2 days, and his swimming days repeat every 3 days. The first number that appears in both lists of multiples is 6, so both activities happen on the same day again after 6 days. The correct choice is 6 days.
