Answer 1

Answer:

29 days in february 4 years

800/4=200

therefore 200 times

Answer 2

Answer:

9000 times

Step-by-step explanation:

A  leap year (29 days) will occur once in four years. Therefore since there are 800 consecutive years there will be 800 /4 = 200 leap years.

In a leap year 29 occurs in all 12 months.

Therefore in 200 leap years it will be 200 x 12 = 2400 occurrences.

In the non leap years 29 th occurs in 11 months, since February has 28 days. Therefore for 600 years number of occurrences of 29 will be 600 x 11 = 6600.

hence total number of occurrences will be 6600 + 2400 = 9000 times.
