Question 3: When is Martin Luther King’s Day celebrated?

✔ Answer: Monday, January 18, 2016

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is always observed on the third Monday of January in the United States.

Looking at the calendar:

Question 4: How many weekend days are in this month?

✔ Answer: 9

Explanation:
Weekend days are Saturdays and Sundays.

Let’s count them from the calendar:

- Saturdays: Jan 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 → 5 days
- Sundays: Jan 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 → 5 days

Total = 5 + 5 = 10 days

Wait — let’s double-check the calendar image.

Actually, looking closely at the calendar:
- January 1st is a Friday
- So January 2nd is Saturday → first weekend day
- January 3rd is Sunday → second weekend day
- Then every 7 days after that...

List of weekend dates:
- Sat: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 → 5
- Sun: 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 → 5

✔ Total = 10 weekend days

> ⚠️ Correction: The correct answer is 10, not 9.

Some students might miscount if they forget January 31st is a Sunday. But according to the calendar grid, January 31st falls under “Sunday” column — so it’s included.

Question 5: On which date does the last Saturday fall?

✔ Answer: January 30, 2016

Explanation:
Looking at the “Saturday” column in the calendar:

- Jan 2
- Jan 9
- Jan 16
- Jan 23
- Jan 30 ← Last Saturday of the month

So, the last Saturday falls on January 30.
