If today is Wednesday, what day of the week will it be 1,000 days from today?

To find out what day of the week it will be 1,000 days from today (Wednesday), we can use the concept of modular arithmetic.

1. **Determine the number of weeks in 1,000 days:**

   \[
   \text{Number of weeks} = \frac{1000}{7} = 142 \text{ weeks} + 6 \text{ days}
   \]

   So, 1,000 days is equivalent to 142 weeks and 6 days.

2. **Calculate the day of the week 6 days after Wednesday:**
   
   Starting from Wednesday, if we add 6 days:
   - Thursday (1 day)
   - Friday (2 days)
   - Saturday (3 days)
   - Sunday (4 days)
   - Monday (5 days)
   - **Tuesday** (6 days)

Therefore, 1,000 days from today will be a **Tuesday**.

2. How do we calculate the day of the week for any number of days in the future?
3. Can you find out what day it was 1,000 days ago?
4. How does modular arithmetic apply to calendar calculations?
5. How can this method be used to determine future dates across different calendars?

**Tip:** Remember that every 7 days, the day of the week repeats, so you can always find the equivalent day by considering the remainder when dividing by 7.

Learn how to calculate the day of the week 1,000 days from today starting from Wednesday using modular arithmetic. This problem demonstrates how to determine future dates based on weekly cycles. Suitable for Grades 7-9.
