Answer 1

To find the day of the week for November 2nd, knowing October 2nd is a Monday, we calculate the days between the dates and use the starting day.

October has 31 days. From October 2nd, there are 31 - 2 = 29 days remaining in October.

Steps:

Calculate days from October 2nd to November 2nd: 29 days in October (from the 3rd to the 31st) + 2 days in November (1st and 2nd) = 31 total days.
Determine the day of the week 31 days after Monday:

Days of the week repeat every 7 days. Find 31 modulo 7:

31 ÷ 7 = 4 remainder 3

This is 4 weeks and 3 extra days.

Starting from Monday, move forward 3 days:

Therefore, November 2nd is a Thursday.
