    Danny will watch all of them on the same day again on August 31

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, we have a word problem.

    The shows and frequency of watching are;

    Show A Every 2 days

    Show B Every 3rd day

    Show C Every 5th day

    Show D Every 10th day

    Danny watched all four shows on August 1, therefore, the day he will watch all four shows can be found by finding the Lowest Common Multiple, LCM of the frequency of his watching each of the shows. That is, the LCM of 2, 3, 5 and 10

    Therefore we have, since 10 is the highest frequency and 3 is not a factor of 10, then the LCM that applies to 3 and 10 is 3*10 = 30.

    Since the other frequencies are also a factor of 30, then the LCM of 2, 3, 5, and 10 is 30

    Therefore, Danny will watch all four shows again on the same day again in 30 days after August 1. That is August (1 + 30) = August 31.
