Answer guide · AC9M1M03

  1. Thursday: Wednesday is one day later and Thursday is two days later.
  2. One day, one week, one year.
  3. The days repeat in a seven-day cycle, so the next Friday is one week later.
  4. Years, because this growth takes a long time, much longer than a few hours.

If help is needed: The number alone does not tell the duration. Two hours and two months are very different lengths of time.
