Question

Jaquan practices soccer every three days. He practices basketball every five days Jaquan practiced both today. How many days until he practices both

Answer 1

Answer: He will practice both on every 15 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Jaquan practices soccer every 3 days.

He practices basketball every 5 days Jaquan practiced both today.

The number of days until he practices both = Least common multiple of 3 and 5

= 3 x 5    [Both are primes]

= 15

Hence, he will practice both on every 15 days.

• Least common multiple  of two numbers p and  q is the smallest number that is divisible by both p and q.
