Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse's schedule repeats every 6 days (3 days of work followed by 3 days off). Since today is the nurse's 3rd day off, the cycle will restart tomorrow. To find out if the nurse will be working 51 days from now, divide 51 by 6. The remainder will indicate the position in the cycle 51 days from now. 51 divided by 6 leaves a remainder of 3, meaning it will be the nurse's 3rd day of work, so the nurse will be working 51 days from now.
