To find out how many weeks you have been in school since August 19th until December 9th, we first need to calculate the total number of days between these two dates.
-
Calculate the number of days in each month:
- From August 19th to August 31st: 12 days (31 - 19)
- Full month of September: 30 days
- Full month of October: 31 days
- Full month of November: 30 days
- From December 1st to December 9th: 9 days
-
Add these days together:
- August: 12 days
- September: 30 days
- October: 31 days
- November: 30 days
- December: 9 days
Total days = 12 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 9 = 112 days
-
Convert days into weeks:
- To find the number of weeks, divide the total days by 7:
\[ 112 \div 7 = 16 \text{ weeks} \]
Therefore, you have been in school for 16 weeks as of December 9th.
