A worker works 4 days, then takes a leave for 2 days. He starts working on Monday. On which day he starts to work when he returns from his 6th leave?

Miracrown (miracrown):

Hey girl :) got any idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's related to modular arithmetic, but i don't have any ideas

Miracrown (miracrown):

Ok let me help you out

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(6\)th leave means \(6*(4+2) = 36\) days from the starting is it ?

Miracrown (miracrown):

So let me see you know modular Aritmetic?

I AM BAT MAN

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

BAT GIRL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know mod of course but i dont understand this question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

my interpretation is this : they gave u that starting day is monday, and they want you find out what day it would be after 36 days

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will divide some number with 7 and i will add the residual to monday but which number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 36 days

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

knowing modular arithmetic isn't enough you will need to assign days to numbers before using modular arithmetic

Miracrown (miracrown):

|dw:1444945450036:dw| The days of the week ^ so the worker work 4 days

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

How about ``` 0 : Monday 1 : Tuesday 2 : Wednesday 3 : Thursday 4 : Friday 5 : Saturday 6 : Sunday ```

Miracrown (miracrown):

|dw:1444945524550:dw| we mark it
