Feb 9, 2010 - Math Question

Domo!

So, for homework we had to do Math Problems. I did pretty well and our teacher told us to pick a favourite question. Okay! So the question I chose goes like this, "The greatest number of Mondays that can occur in the first 45 days of a year is..." So,this was really easy to explain.

First, you draw out a calendar. The question says "45 days" Then, you write out the numbers. From 1-45 because the question says so. So, you would write out "1" on the first Monday because you want the greatest number of Mondays. If you put it somewhere else, it will not work. Then you continue and eventually you will reach an end. After that, you count the number of Mondays that appear. You will get 7. Good Luck and try your best!
