A month with 31 days has the same number of Mondays and Wednesdays. How many of the seven days of the week could be the first da

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: b. 3

Therefore, we will have the same number of Mondays and Wednesdays if the first day is either Monday, Thursday or Friday. Making 3 possible days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 31 days in the month.

And there are equal number of Mondays and Wednesdays within a 7 day bracket.

30 - 4(7) = 3days

After four weeks we are left with three days.

So, if the first day is;

Monday - we will have 5 Mondays and Wednesdays each

Tuesday - we have more Wednesday

Wednesday - we will have more Wednesday

Thursday - we will have 4 Mondays and Wednesdays each

Friday - we will have 4 Mondays and Wednesdays each

Saturday - we will have more Monday

Sunday - we will have more Monday

Therefore, we will have the same number of Mondays and Wednesdays if the first day is either Monday, Thursday or Friday. Making 3 possible days

In order from least to greatest:
5/10 , 7/12 , 4/6
You have to find a common denominator of all 3 numbers which is 60 and then you proceed with the next steps.
