This activity is about finding the number of whole weeks in a given number of days.
We need to remember that there are 7 days in a week!
Example 1
How many whole weeks are there in 42 days?
Answer 1
There are 7 days in a week.
So we need to so 42 ÷ 7 = 6
There are 6 whole weeks in 42 days.
Example 2
How many whole weeks are there in 45 days?
Answer 2
There are 7 days in a week.
So we need to do 45 ÷ 7 = 6 r 3.
We leave off the remainder, so there are still 6 whole weeks in 45 days.
Example 3
How many whole weeks are there in 420 days?
Answer 3
There are 7 days in a week.
So we need to do 420 ÷ 7 = 60 (remember that 42 ÷ 7 = 6)
There are 60 whole weeks in 420 days.
Does that make sense?
Let's get started then!
