Math Problem Statement

Find the approximate number of days from: a) July 25, 2004 to May 25, 2006

Solution

To find the approximate number of days from July 25, 2004, to May 25, 2006, we need to calculate the total number of days between these two dates. We will break it down into three parts:

  1. From July 25, 2004, to July 25, 2005: This is one full year.
  2. From July 25, 2005, to May 25, 2006: This is a partial year from July 25, 2005, to May 25, 2006.

Step-by-Step Calculation

  1. From July 25, 2004, to July 25, 2005:

    • This is exactly one year.
    • Since 2004 is a leap year, it has 366 days.
  2. From July 25, 2005, to May 25, 2006:

    • July 25, 2005, to July 25, 2006, is another year. But we only need up to May 25, 2006.
    • Let's count the number of days from July 25, 2005, to May 25, 2006:
      • July 25, 2005, to December 31, 2005:

        • July 25 to July 31: 6 days
        • August: 31 days
        • September: 30 days
        • October: 31 days
        • November: 30 days
        • December: 31 days
        • Total: 159 days
      • January 1, 2006, to May 25, 2006:

        • January: 31 days
        • February: 28 days (2006 is not a leap year)
        • March: 31 days
        • April: 30 days
        • May: 25 days
        • Total: 145 days
  3. Total Days Calculation:

Total days=366 (first year)+159 (remaining 2005)+145 (2006)=670 days\text{Total days} = 366 \text{ (first year)} + 159 \text{ (remaining 2005)} + 145 \text{ (2006)} = 670 \text{ days}

Conclusion

The approximate number of days from July 25, 2004, to May 25, 2006, is 670 days.
