For questions like these you would need to find out the Least Common Multiple, or L.C.M
If Camryn plays the trumpet and the flute today, and they both are in intervals of 11 and 3 days, you would need to find the LCM for 11 and 3.
LCM:
11 = 11, 1
3 = 3, 1
As they both have no common factors, and are prime numbers, multiply 11 x 3 = 33.
So, the least amount of days required for the trumpet and the flute to be played together is 33 days. And the interval between practising them both on the same day is 33 days.
Hence, the number of days until Camryn practices the trumpet and the flute on the same day is 33 days.
