Question

In 2017 the islamic month of fasting, ramadan, began on friday, 26 may. What fraction of the year was this? (to 1 decimal place).

Answer 1

In Ramadan, Muslims fasted 35 days in total. 2017 had 365 days. 365 - 35 = 330 days were spent not fasting. So the fraction is 35/365.

Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar, determined by way of Muslims globally as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and networking.

Ramadan is a month-length nonsecular holiday for Muslims as a time of self-reflection and strengthening their dating with God. Ramadan is dictated by way of the lunar cycle, beginning and finishing with a crescent moon. The religious excursion involves fasting, praying and being around cherished ones. Muslims taking component in Ramadan do no longer eat or drink anything for the duration of daylight, eating one meal (the 'suhoor' or 'sehri') just earlier than dawn and every other (the 'iftar') after sunset. The stop of Ramadan is marked by using 'Eid-ul-Fitr', the festival of the Breaking of the short.
