If today is the 1st of a month and it has 31 days, what will be the day of the week on the 31st of that month?
Correct Answer: 3 days later than the 1st day of the week
- Step 1: Identify the starting day. Today is the 1st of the month.
- Step 2: Count the total number of days in the month. The month has 31 days.
- Step 3: Calculate how many weeks are in 31 days. There are 4 weeks in 31 days, which is 28 days.
- Step 4: Find out how many extra days are left after 4 weeks. 31 days - 28 days = 3 extra days.
- Step 5: Determine the day of the week on the 31st. Since today is the 1st, add the 3 extra days to the 1st.
- Step 6: If today is, for example, Monday, then the 31st will be Monday + 3 days = Thursday.
