Answer: He will practice both on every 15 days.

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.
