Q: What day of the week will it be on December 31, 2023 if January 1, 2023 is a Sunday?
Solution: 2023 has 365 days, which is 52 weeks and 1 day. December 31, 2023 will be one day before January 1, 2024, which is a Sunday, making it Saturday.
Steps: 6
Step 1: Identify the starting point. January 1, 2023 is a Sunday.
Step 2: Count the total number of days in the year 2023. It has 365 days.
Step 3: Calculate how many weeks are in 365 days. There are 52 weeks and 1 extra day (because 365 divided by 7 equals 52 with a remainder of 1).
Step 4: Since January 1, 2023 is a Sunday, we need to find out what day it will be 365 days later.
Step 5: The extra day means that December 31, 2023 will be one day before January 1, 2024.
Step 6: January 1, 2024 is a Sunday, so one day before that (December 31, 2023) is Saturday.
