The date of the first Friday in November can be represented by thevariable F. Write an expression using F for each of the following dates in November. A. the first Tuesday
B.the first Saturday C. the second Friday D.the third Friday
A. F-3 or F+4, depending on what day of the week that November starts.
B. F+1 or F-6
C. F+7
D. F+14
To find the dates in November using the variable F, representing the first Friday, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the date of the first Friday in November.
Let's assume the first Friday in November is on the 1st of November. Therefore, we can set F = 1.
A. To find the date of the first Tuesday:
Since it is the first Tuesday, it will be four days after the first Friday. Hence, F + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5. So, the first Tuesday is represented by F + 4, which is F + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5.
B. To find the date of the first Saturday:
Since it is the first Saturday, it will be five days after the first Friday. Hence, F + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6. So, the first Saturday is represented by F + 5, which is F + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6.
C. To find the date of the second Friday:
Since it is the second Friday, it will be seven days after the first Friday, counting the first Friday as day one. Hence, F + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8. So, the second Friday is represented by F + 7, which is F + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8.
D. To find the date of the third Friday:
Since it is the third Friday, it will be 14 days after the first Friday, counting the first Friday as day one. Hence, F + 14 = 1 + 14 = 15. So, the third Friday is represented by F + 14, which is F + 14 = 1 + 14 = 15.
Therefore:
A. The first Tuesday is represented by F + 4, which is 1 + 4 = 5.
B. The first Saturday is represented by F + 5, which is 1 + 5 = 6.
C. The second Friday is represented by F + 7, which is 1 + 7 = 8.
D. The third Friday is represented by F + 14, which is 1 + 14 = 15.
