If today is Wednesday, what day of the week will it be precisely 100 days from today?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Friday
- Step 1: A week has 7 days, so day of the week repeats every 7 days.
- Step 2: Divide 100 by 7 to determine the remainder: 100 = 14 * 7 + 2.
- Step 3: The remainder is 2 days.
- Step 4: Count 2 days forward from Wednesday: Day 1 is Thursday; Day 2 is Friday.
Answer
Friday.
Why not the others: 'Thursday' is 1 day forward (remainder 1); 'Saturday' is 3 days forward; 'Sunday' is 4 days forward.
