Answer 1

There are approximately 260 weekdays in a non-leap year. Here's how we can calculate this:

1. Weekdays in a week: There are 7 days in a week, and typically weekdays are considered Monday through Friday (5 days).
2. Weeks in a year: A standard year has 52 weeks.
3. Weekday calculation: To find the total weekdays, we multiply the number of weekdays per week by the number of weeks in a year:

Total weekdays = Weekdays per week * Weeks in a year Total weekdays = 5 days/week * 52 weeks/year = 260 days

Leap years and slight variations:

• Leap year adjustment: Every four years, we have a leap year with one additional day. This extra day can fall on a weekday, so leap years can have 261 weekdays.
• Public holidays: Some weekdays throughout the year might be public holidays, reducing the total number of working days. The exact number of weekdays can vary slightly depending on how many public holidays fall on weekdays in a specific year.

However, for a general estimate, considering a non-leap year and excluding public holidays, there are approximately 260 weekdays in a year.
