She will checked each account on Tuesday at 2 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Julie has 2 email accounts she checks one of them every two hours the other she checks every 24 hours.

In order to solve this first find the LCM of both numbers.

2 = 2*1

24 = 2*2*2*3

The LCM of 2 and 24 is 24.

Thus, she will check each account at the same time after 24 hours.

It is given that she checked each account on Monday at 2pm.

That means after 24 hours of Monday 2 pm she will again check each account at the same time.

Hence, she will checked each account on Tuesday at 2 pm.
