Answer:

15 days

Explanation:

Prime factorization of 3: 3

Prime factorization of 5: 5

The LCM is the product of the highest powers of all prime factors involved. In this case, since 3 and 5 are prime numbers themselves, their LCM is simply their product: 3×5=15

So, the soccer team and basketball team will have games on the same day again every 15 days.
