In a small town of 5000, 160 people have a disease at the beginning of the week and 1200 have it at the end of the week. Would t be week or day? If the question asks 1 week does it mean 7 days or just 1 week?

days

anonymous · Answer

some answers i found are in weeks, some are in days. How can you be sure which one?

alexwee123 · Answer

because of beginning and ending of a week
it just makes more sense to use days than weeks

alexwee123 · Answer

because there is only 1 week
