Incorrect, Nichola
366 x 25 = 9150
365 x 75 = 27375
9150 + 27375 = 36525 / 7 = 5217.85 = 5218

Answer is 5,214 weeks
100 years between 24 April 1916 and 24 April 2016
100 years x 365 days = 36,500
+ leap days ( 25 years are leap years) 25
= 36,500 + 25 = 36,525
There were 28 days between March 28th and April 28th 2016
minus 27 days 36,525-27 = 36,498
36498/7 = 5214 weeks.
