Default How many weeks are in 1 year?

If 30 days has September,April,June an November then theres 7 months left with 31 an Feb which is usually 28...and exactly 4 weeks,so we don't count any extra days .
So we have 4 months of 30 days(8) an 7 months of 31 days (21)an Febuary in 12 months.

Here's the dilemma ,there's more than 28 days in a month an over 12 months it's( 29) extra days!!

,when you look up How many weeks are there in 1 year it says 52 weeks an 24 days (55.3 weeks) but it adds up more closer to 52 weeks 29 days ( which is 56.1 weeks) when we add up these extra days

I don't know why we follow a calender that' thinks 7 x 4 = 31 an is only correct in Febuary an when its NOT a leap year..it throws everything out of whack,like anyone that gets paid monthly would know

only education tells you that days, weeks, months, years exist. They actually dont even exist, the "sun" (they call it) goes up and comes down, call it what you want. The sky isn't even blue, only education tells us that blue is "colour" and that's the colour of the sky.

Time exists for only one reason... To stop everything happening at once.

Without the dimension of time... You would not exist here, as you would be born and die all at once.

Dunno where you got your figures from but 365 / 7 = 52.142857. So there is 52 weeks and a bit in each year. For a leap year, that's pushed out to 52.2857.
Jan = 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
Feb = 28 days = 4 weeks
March = 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
April 30 days = 4 weeks + 2 days
May 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
June 30 days = 4 weeks + 2 days
July 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
August 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
September 30 days = 4 weeks + 2 days
October 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
November 30 days = 4 weeks + 2 days
December 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days

Therefore, there is 48 weeks (12 * 4) + 29 days. 28 days = 4 weeks, so that means 48 + 4 = 52 weeks + 1 extra day!

It does if you’re retired. The rest of us have to go to work. Although if you’re in the Cook Islands now, you’ve still got time to sleep in on Sunday morning. And the older you are the faster the next weekend will arrive.

As an ex boss, this is why I paid everyone monthly instead of weekly!
Only 12 months pays instead of 52 weeks!

Wait until youse dumb ugly blokes is old and on lotsa medication.

The meds vary in number from 28 to 30 tablets in a pack.

This means you must get more scrips according to the meds in the 28 pack.

You don't want to do a zillion trips to the chemist and Dr so all your meds are based on 28 days.

You end up with extra meds that are in 30 packs.

It starts to get confusing so in the end you get the chemist to make up blister packs for you which means you are officially a dumb old fart and you skulk out of the chemist shop like a dirty old man leaving a sex shop!

No that reminds me, have I taken my meds today?

so seeing I poop daily do I poop more often if I work on the weekly calendar or more often if I work on the monthly calendar

and I must say this seems to make more sense as to why my X seemed to be on her monthly more often than , well ……… monthly

Spot on. I remember when I first started paying rent as a kid, feeling extra ripped off because I had to pay 13 months rent, not 12

Hi. This is only if you work on a weekly basis, if you have to make a payment each month you only make 12 payments a year. It helps you to pay off loans quicker if you pay each week on a loan with monthly repayments as you keep getting in front of the payment schedule. Cheers MD

Jan = 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
Feb = 28 days = 4 weeks
March = 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
April 30 days = 4 weeks + 2 days
May 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
June 30 days = 4 weeks + 2 days
July 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
August 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
September 30 days = 4 weeks + 2 days
October 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days
November 30 days = 4 weeks + 2 days
December 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days

Therefore, there is 48 weeks (12 * 4) + 29 days. 28 days = 4 weeks, so that means 48 + 4 = 52 weeks + 1 extra day!
Not sure where you got your figures from either?

Due to the leap years, the number of days per year must be averaged over a 4 year period.

Therefore, the number of days per year is (365 x 3 + 366) / 28 = 52.178571429.

The most interesting thing is that on every occasion, reading this thread is like travelling through time into the future by several minutes.

Ahh, but what about when it's a century year and not a leap year? Does that mean we need to average it out over 100 years?

Also, when the year is divisible by 400, it's also not a leap year, so do we have to average it out over 400 years?
