Number theory Difficulty 1.3 Junior Find the answer Canada

The month of June has 30 days. If in a certain year June 1 is on
a Tuesday, on which day of the week is June 30?

Pick one

Solution

There are $7$ days in a week.
If June $1$ is a Tuesday, then by
moving successively $7$ days later in
the month, we get June $8$ , $15$ , $22$ , and $29$ are also Tuesdays. Thus, June $30$ is a Wednesday.
