Howard planted a tree in his front yard six months, one week, and two days ago. If today is August 13th, what day did Howard plant the tree in his yard?

A. February 4

B. February 13

C. February 20

D. February 22

For this to be easier, we know the date is February, since we are subtracting the 6 months. So let's start with February 13th, and subtract a week. One week is equal to 7 days, so 13-7 = 6. We're now on February 6th, and we still have to subtract 2 days. 6-2=4, so we are at our date. A, Howard planted a tree in his front yard on February 4th.
