A fortnight is a period of 14 days (2 weeks). To find out how many fortnights are in a year:
- A common year has 365 days.
- Divide 365 days by 14 days per fortnight:
36514≈26.07\frac{365}{14}\approx 26.0714365≈26.07
So, there are approximately 26 fortnights in a year.
Summary:
- 1 fortnight = 14 days
- 1 year = 365 days (common year)
- Number of fortnights in a year ≈ 26
If it's a leap year (366 days), then:
36614≈26.14\frac{366}{14}\approx 26.1414366≈26.14
Still about 26 fortnights.
