Start with finding the lowest common multiple
Which would be 2 ? then what ?
what's the smallest number divisible by both 4 and 6?
12
But that does not solve the problem. What is the date 12 school days after Sept.5?
12 school days is 2 weeks + 2 days. So, if 9/5 is M-W, you will only have two weekends to count. If it's Thu or Fri, you have a 3rd weekend to include.
And what about Labor Day?
Now, if you had said "earliest possible" date, then we'd have 9/21.
Thank you we understand, but I agree with all the what ifs.This was the most frustriting math problem.
