Days in a year...?

Question

ok there is 365 days in a year. there is 52 weeks in a year and there is 7 days is a week. However when you multiply 52 x 7 it equals 364 ...where is that extra day coming from?????????

Answer 1

One year is actually defined as 365.25 days. One year is not 52 weeks. One year is actually 52.14286 weeks. On the fourth year, when the 0.25 day adds up to an extra day, that's when leap year occurs and Februrary has 29 days.

Answer 2

There are actually 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds in a day. The extra day every four years (leap year) is added to February to make up this time.

Answer 3

It falls like this due to new years eve and new years day.
If you would count the days on each month of your calender you will find that they add up to 365 this is why there are different amount of days in each month. If you would multiply say 30 or 31 days in each month you would come up with 360 for 30 days or 372 for 31 days. So this is how it works out

Answer 4

Uhhh leap year? Then February has 29 days.

This is just like that hotel question where there are 3 people and they each pay $10 to go stay in a hotel but then the book keeper realizes that he over charged them so he sends the bell boy with $5 up to their room to return to them and the bell boy thinks well since there are 3 of them then I will just keep $2 and they each get a dollar back. So that means they payed $30 for the room originally but the rate was only $25 so they each only payed $9( cause the bellboy each gave them a dollar) but $9x3=$27 add to that the $2 the bell boy keeps and you come up with $29. So where did the other dollar go?\

Math sometimes I wonder about it.

Answer 5

If you count the number of Saturday's in 2007, there are 52 (52 weeks) but the last Saturday of the month in December is Dec 29th leaving 2 extra days. Because Jan 1, 2007 is a Monday, you need to add one of those extra days to the beginning of the week to make 52 full 7 day weeks. 52 x 7 = 364 plus the 1 extra day left equals 365.

Answer 6

Days in a year...?

Answer 7

a normal year is 364. there is 1/4 of a day left over and that makes leap day

Answer 8

New Year's Day.

Answer 9

Christmas day is effective to spend with relatives, yet i like New Years eve simply by fact thats while all the outstanding nights out and clubbing events that i visit are! are not getting me incorrect nonetheless, I for sure love spending time with my relatives! i think of christmas is greater for individuals with little ones and little ones themselves! i'm neither a confirm or a newborn! :) x

Answer 10

that is why they have leap year so that one day is filled up for that year. they cant have empty spaces, it would confuse people, especially me.
