I have 39 due assignments. If I do assignments starting May 16 and have an end date of May 26, and I only do assignments on Mon-Fri, how many lessons will I need to do per weekday?
There are 10 weekdays from May 16 to May 26, inclusive.
To complete 39 assignments, you would need to do an average of 3.9 assignments per weekday.
However, since you can't do a fraction of an assignment, you would need to do either 3 or 4 assignments per weekday.
To do 3 assignments per weekday, you would complete a total of 30 assignments (3 x 10 weekdays) by May 26, leaving 9 assignments unfinished.
To do 4 assignments per weekday, you would complete a total of 40 assignments (4 x 10 weekdays) by May 26, which is more than enough to complete the 39 due assignments.
What if I decide to do 6 assignments a day? When will I finish?
If you decide to do 6 assignments per weekday, you would complete a total of 60 assignments (6 x 10 weekdays) by May 26, which is more than enough to complete the 39 due assignments.
To calculate when you will finish, you can divide the total number of assignments (39) by the number of assignments you will complete per day (6).
39 ÷ 6 = 6 with a remainder of 3
This tells us that you will complete 6 full days of 6 assignments (for a total of 36 assignments) and then have 3 remaining assignments to complete.
To determine when you will finish, you can add 6 weekdays to May 16 (the starting date) to account for the 6 full days it will take to complete 36 assignments. This brings you to May 24.
Then, you can add one more weekday for each of the remaining 3 assignments, which brings you to May 27, the day after the end date.
So if you do 6 assignments per weekday, you will finish on May 27 (which is after the end date), but you will have completed all 39 due assignments.
what about 6 per weekday with 38 due lessons starting may 16 and ending may 26
If you have 38 due lessons and you plan to do 6 per weekday starting May 16 and ending May 26, that gives you 10 weekdays to complete the work.
To calculate if this plan is feasible, you can divide the total number of lessons (38) by the number of lessons you plan to complete per weekday (6):
38 ÷ 6 = 6 with a remainder of 2
This means that you will complete 6 full days of 6 lessons (for a total of 36 lessons) and then have 2 remaining lessons to complete.
To determine when you will finish, you can add 6 weekdays to May 16 (the starting date) to account for the 6 full days it will take to complete 36 lessons. This brings you to May 24.
For the remaining 2 lessons, you can add 2 more weekdays:
May 25 and May 26
This means that if you do 6 lessons per weekday, you will finish all 38 lessons on May 26, which is the last day of the designated time period for completing the assignments.
what if on the 6th day I decide to do the the other 2 lessons and make it 8? when will i finish?
If you plan to do 6 lessons per weekday starting on May 16 and ending on May 26, but then decide to do 8 lessons on the 6th day, you would complete a total of 38 lessons (6 x 5 weekdays = 30 lessons + 8 lessons = 38) at the end.
To determine when you will finish, you can follow the same process as before:
38 ÷ 6 = 6 with a remainder of 2
This means you'll complete 6 full days of 6 lessons (for a total of 36 lessons) and then have 2 remaining lessons to complete.
So, you would complete 36 lessons by May 24, then do 2 more lessons on May 25, and be done with all 38 lessons on May 26.
In summary, if you do 8 lessons on the 6th day, you will finish all 38 lessons on May 26, which is the last day of the designated time period for completing the assignments.
