Here’s the complete solution to the calendar worksheet, with clear explanations for each question:
---
1. a. The day before Sunday is _Saturday_.
> Explanation: The days of the week in order are:
> Monday → Tuesday → Wednesday → Thursday → Friday → Saturday → Sunday
> So, the day immediately before Sunday is Saturday.
---
1. b. The day after Friday is _Saturday_.
> Explanation: Following the weekly sequence, the day after Friday is Saturday.
---
1. c. There are _365_ days in a year.
> Explanation: A common (non-leap) year has 365 days. Leap years have 366, but unless specified, “a year” usually refers to a standard year.
---
1. d. Leap year comes after every _4_ years.
> Explanation: Generally, a leap year occurs every 4 years to account for the extra ~0.25 days in Earth’s orbit around the sun.
> *(Note: There are exceptions — century years not divisible by 400 are not leap years, e.g., 1900 was not, but 2000 was. But for grade-level purposes, “every 4 years” is correct.)*
---
1. e. February in a leap year has _29_ days.
> Explanation: In a leap year, an extra day (February 29) is added to the calendar. So February has 29 days instead of the usual 28.
---
1. f. How many days are there in the first three months of the year? _90 or 91_
> Explanation:
> - January = 31 days
> - February = 28 days (common year) or 29 days (leap year)
> - March = 31 days
>
> So:
> - In a common year: 31 + 28 + 31 = 90 days
> - In a leap year: 31 + 29 + 31 = 91 days
>
> Since the question doesn’t specify leap year, you can write 90 (most common), or mention both. For accuracy, it’s best to say 90 or 91, depending on the year.
---
2. a. How many weeks are there in a year? _52 weeks_
> Explanation:
> 365 days ÷ 7 days per week = 52 weeks and 1 day remaining.
> So, there are 52 full weeks in a year (plus 1 extra day, or 2 in a leap year).
---
2. b. How many days are there in a leap year? _366 days_
> Explanation: A leap year adds one extra day (February 29), making the total 366 days.
---
2. c. How many days are there in July & August? _62 days_
> Explanation:
> - July has 31 days
> - August has 31 days
> Total = 31 + 31 = 62 days
---
2. d. How many days are there in February? _28 or 29 days_
> Explanation:
> - In a common year: 28 days
> - In a leap year: 29 days
> So the answer depends on the year — you can write 28 or 29.
---
3. Was the year 2000 a leap year? In this year how many days were in February?
> Answer:
> ✔ Yes, 2000 was a leap year.
> 📅 February had 29 days.
> Explanation:
> Leap years are divisible by 4. However, century years (like 1900, 2000) must also be divisible by 400 to be leap years.
> 2000 ÷ 400 = 5 → whole number → so 2000 is a leap year.
> Therefore, February had 29 days.
---
4. Ram was born on 29th February. In 20 years how many birthdays has he celebrated?
> Answer: _5 birthdays_
> Explanation:
> People born on February 29 (leap day) only have a “true” birthday every 4 years.
> In 20 years, leap years occur at:
> Year 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 → that’s 5 leap years.
> So, Ram would celebrate his actual birthday 5 times in 20 years.
> *(Some people celebrate on Feb 28 or March 1 in non-leap years, but the question asks how many birthdays he “celebrated” — assuming true Feb 29 birthdays, the answer is 5.)*
---
5. How many days are there in the month of September? _30 days_
> Explanation:
> September is one of the months with 30 days.
> Mnemonic: “Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November…”
---
6. How many days are there in the month of May? _31 days_
> Explanation:

> Months with 31 days: January, March, May, July, August, October, December.
