Step 1: Identify the starting date, which is January 1, 2024. This date is a Monday.
Step 2: Count the number of days from January 1 to February 29, 2024. There are 31 days in January and 29 days in February, so 31 + 29 = 60 days.
Step 3: Since we are counting from January 1 to February 29, we need to subtract 1 day because we start counting from January 1. So, 60 - 1 = 59 days.
Step 4: Calculate how many weeks and extra days are in 59 days. There are 7 days in a week, so divide 59 by 7. This gives us 8 weeks and 3 days (since 59 ÷ 7 = 8 remainder 3).
Step 5: Starting from Monday (January 1), count 3 days forward: Tuesday (1 day), Wednesday (2 days), Thursday (3 days).
Step 6: Therefore, February 29, 2024, is a Thursday.
