Question

The first day of Sam's vacation was a Monday. What day of the week was the Day 36 of Sam's vacation?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to this problem can be found by creating a table

If Day 1 was Monday, then

Mon    Tues      Wed      Thur    Fri      Sat      Sun

1              2           3             4        5        6          7

8             9           10           11        12       13        14

...............

We can see that the multiples of 7 are falling on Sundays so we will divide 36 by 7 to get the closest multiple of 7 to 36.

The closest multiple of 7 near 36 is 35 so Day 35th will fall on Sunday and Day 36 will be on Monday

Hence, Option A is the correct answer..
