Answer:

4 days

Explanation:

Crickets team = every 2 days

Football team = every 4 days

How much days from now will they have to share the field again?

Find the lowest common multiple of 2 days and 4 days

2 days = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

4 days = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

The lowest common multiple of 2 days and 4 days = 4 days

Therefore, if the football team and Crickets team share the field to practice today, they will have to share the field again in the next 4 days
