    120 days

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Tacos are served every 60 days.

    Cheeseburgers are served every 8 days.

    Since, both Cheeseburgers and Tacos are served today, the next day on which both will be served is gotten by finding the Lowest Common Multiple of 60 and 8.

    To find the LCM,

    First, we express the numbers as a product of their prime factors.

    60 = 2X2X3X5=2²X3X5

    8=2X2X2=2³

    Next, we take each of the term with the highest power and multiply.

    L. C. M = 2³X3X5=120

    After 120 days, Cheeseburgers and Tacos will be served on the same day.
