how many leap years are there in a decade?

Answer 1

Typically there are at least 2 but no more than 3.

Answer 2

2

Answer 3

2

Answer 4

1 decade 10years
1 leap in 4 years
so only 2 or 3 leap years

Answer 5

In the 1990's there were 2 leap years (1992, 1996, ) But in the 2000's there will only be 3 leap years (,2000,2004, 2008).
It all depends what is divisable by the 4 times table.
So the answer is there are 2 leap years every other decade then 3 leap years for every one in between.

Answer 6

see u must be knowing two things tat a decade contains 10 yrs and a leap year is a year that comes once in 4 yrs. if a yr is divisible by 4 then it is leap year else it is not. so in a term of 10 yrs we can find only 2 yrs that r divisible by 4. that is only 2 times in a decade leap year occur. but during spl occasions such as a decade if u consider from 2000 to 2009, u wil have three leap yrs. so in a term of a decade there are 2 leap years for sure and atmost 3 occur(rarely)

Answer 7

2 OR 3

Answer 8

Depending when your decade starts.
If it started on a leap year there will be 3 other wise there will be only 2.

Answer 9

There must be 3 leap years if the 1st leap year falls on either the 1st or the 2nd year of the decade, otherwise there must be 2.

Answer 10

Leap years take place every 4 years, except for special occasions (once every hundred years or so). So, depending on how you divide a decade, it could range from 2 to 3.

Answer 11

2 to 3, depends.

A year which has a multiple of 4 is a leap year.

However, a year with multiple of 100 is NOT a leap year.

One more exception, a year with multiple of 400 IS a leap year again -.-



There are 97 leap years every 400 years (fixed), so on average there are 2.425 leap years every 10 years (or decade)
