Explanation

The textbook states that the menstrual cycle repeats typically every 21–35 days, often around 28 days. By adding the cycle length of 28 days to the first day of the last period (5th March), we can determine the expected start date of the next period.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Date of last period = 5th March

  2. Step 2: Length of menstrual cycle = 28 days

  3. Step 3: Days remaining in March after the 5th = 31 - 5 = 26 days

  4. Step 4: Remaining days to reach 28-day cycle = 28 - 26 = 2 days

  5. Step 5: Next period date = 2nd April
