Best Answer

The simplistic answer is that August will have five Mondays if the month starts on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday. Three days out of the seven so the probability is 3/7 = 0.4286. However, that assumes that any day of the week is equally likely and that is not the case. The impact of leap years and their 2800-year cycle is to increase the probability to 0.43

5 mondays however this only applies on earth, depending on the planets orbit there could be more, for example: Saturn has an orbit of 10 759 earth days in a year, compared to earths 365 1/2 days per year.
