Question from derrick, a student: Ella was born early in the morning on a Friday. She got married on the 10000th day of her life. What day of the week was it? |
Hi Derrick,
What day of the week was the 19th day of her life? That's easy because it is 2 weeks and 5 days. The 14th day (two weeks) is a Friday so 5 days later is Wednesday. How many weeks are in 10,000 days? What is the remainder? What day of the week was that?
