(b) October

There are 12 months in 1 year.

To calculate how many years there are in 100 months , divide 100 by 12.

100 ÷ 12 = 8.333…….

This tells us that there is 8 years and a ‘bit’

If we now consider ##8xx12=96##

Then the ‘bit’ is 100 -96 = 4

so 100 months is the same as 8 years and 4 months.

Since the month ‘now’ is June then in 8 years from ‘now’ the month will also be June.

We now have to think out what month is 4 months from June , which hopefully we know is October.

Finally : 100 months is 8 years and 4 months.

• 8 years from June → June

• 4 months from June → October
