How many weeks are in a year?

• A. 50 weeks
• B. 54 weeks
• C. 52 weeks
• D. 48 weeks

Answer: (C)

Understanding how many full weeks fit into a year comes from the number of days in the year and how a week is counted. A standard year has 365 days. If you divide 365 by 7, you get 52 full weeks with 1 day remaining. So there are 52 complete weeks in a year, plus one extra day. In a leap year, with 366 days, there are 52 full weeks plus two extra days. While some counting methods can touch 53 calendar weeks, the number of full weeks in a typical year is 52.
