Thursday Riddles for Kids
Q: If Thursday is the 5th day of the month and today is the 12th, how many days have passed since the last Thursday?
Solution:
Determine the day of the week for the 5th: It’s Thursday.
To find the number of days between two Thursdays, count the days from the 5th to the 12th.
Days between 5th and 12th: 12 – 5 = 7 days.
Therefore, 7 days have passed since the last Thursday.
Q: If a special event happens every Thursday and the next one is 12 days away, how many Thursdays are there before that event?
Solution:
Calculate the number of days from today to the next Thursday.
Divide 12 days by 7 to find out how many full weeks there are.
12 ÷ 7 = 1 week with a remainder of 5 days.
So, in 12 days, there is 1 Thursday and 5 days after that.
Therefore, the next event will be in 1 Thursday plus 5 days.
Q: If a recurring weekly meeting is held every Thursday and today is Tuesday, how many Thursdays are there in the next 30 days?
Solution:
First, determine the number of days from Tuesday to the next Thursday.
Tuesday to Thursday is 2 days.
Calculate how many full weeks are in 30 days: 30 ÷ 7 = 4 weeks with a remainder of 2 days.
So, in 30 days, there are 4 Thursdays plus the next Thursday that falls within the remaining 2 days.
Therefore, there will be 5 Thursdays in the next 30 days.
Q: If a new series of books is released every Thursday and there are 8 books released in a month, how many Thursdays are there in that month?
Solution:
Each Thursday corresponds to a new book.
Since there are 8 books released, there are 8 Thursdays in that month.
To check if this is possible, note that some months may have 4 or 5 Thursdays.
Therefore, the month must have 8 Thursdays, which is possible if it’s a 31-day month.
Q: If you have 56 stickers and you distribute them equally among 8 days of the week, how many stickers do you have for each Thursday?
Solution:
First, find out how many stickers you get per day: 56 ÷ 7 = 8 stickers per day.
Since there are 8 days of the week, but only 7 actual days, the division applies to 7 days.
So, each Thursday would have 8 stickers.
Therefore, you have 8 stickers for each Thursday.
Q: If a project starts on the first Thursday of the month and the project lasts for 3 weeks, on what day of the week will it end?
Solution:
Start counting 3 weeks from the first Thursday:
Each week has 7 days.
3 weeks × 7 days = 21 days.
Adding 21 days to the first Thursday will bring you to the same day of the week.
Therefore, the project will end on a Thursday.
Q: If a task takes 40 minutes to complete and you can work on it every Thursday for 20 minutes at a time, how many Thursdays will it take to finish the task?
Solution:
Determine the total time needed: 40 minutes.
Time worked per Thursday: 20 minutes.
Calculate the number of Thursdays needed: 40 ÷ 20 = 2 Thursdays.
Therefore, it will take 2 Thursdays to complete the task.
