How many days does a leap year have in all?
- 367
- 365
- 364
- 366
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. 366
A leap year has one extra day in February, making 365 plus 1, or 366 days.
In a year that is not a leap year, 1 February is a Monday. What day is 1 March?
- Tuesday
- Wednesday
- Sunday
- Monday
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. Monday
February then has exactly 28 days, which is 4 full weeks, so 1 March is again a Monday.
