Question
In a four-day period Monday through Thursday each of the following temporary office workers worked only one day, each a different day. Ms. Johnson was scheduled to work on Monday, but she traded with Mr. Carter, who was originally scheduled to work on Wednesday. Ms. Falk traded with Mr. Kirk, who was originally scheduled to work on Thursday. On what day, Ms. Falk was originally scheduled to work?*1 pointThursdayTuesdayMondayWednesday
Solution
The problem states that Ms. Johnson was originally scheduled to work on Monday, but she traded with Mr. Carter, who was originally scheduled to work on Wednesday. This means that Mr. Carter worked on Monday and Ms. Johnson worked on Wednesday.
The problem also states that Ms. Falk traded with Mr. Kirk, who was originally scheduled to work on Thursday. This means that Ms. Falk worked on Thursday and Mr. Kirk worked on the day Ms. Falk was originally scheduled to work.
Since we know that each worker worked on a different day and we know that Mr. Carter worked on Monday, Ms. Johnson worked on Wednesday, and Ms. Falk worked on Thursday, the only day left is Tuesday. Therefore, Ms. Falk was originally scheduled to work on Tuesday.
