Final Answer:
15 days

──────────────────────────────────────

Explanation:
Berkley goes every 3 days, so her schedule is: day 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, …
Bronx goes every 5 days, so his schedule is: day 5, 10, 15, 20, …

We need the first day they both go — that’s the smallest number that is a multiple of both 3 and 5.
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, …
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, …

The first common multiple is 15.
So they’ll take lessons together again in 15 days.
