If 27lh March, 2007 is a Tuesday, then which of the week was 23rd October 2008?

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total number of days between the two dates and then divide by 7 (the number of days in a week) to find out the day of the week.

Step 1: Calculate the number of days in each month from March 27, 2007 to October 23, 2008.

• From March 27 to March 31, 2007: 5 days
• April to December 2007: 9 months * 30 days = 270 days (approximating each month as 30 days)
• January to October 2008: 10 months * 30 days = 300 days
• From October 1 to October 23, 2008: 23 days

Step 2: Add up all these days: 5 + 270 + 300 + 23 = 598 days

Step 3: Divide the total number of days by 7 (the number of days in a week) and find the remainder.

598 divided by 7 equals 85 remainder 3.

Step 4: The remainder represents the number of days past Tuesday (since March 27, 2007 was a Tuesday).

So, 3 days after Tuesday is Friday.

Therefore, October 23, 2008 was a Friday.
