How many weeks are in one year?

1. 50 weeks

2. 51 weeks

3. 52 weeks

4. 53 weeks

The correct answer is: 52 weeks

One year typically consists of 52 weeks. This is derived from the fact that a year has 365 days, and when we divide that number by 7 (the number of days in a week), we get approximately 52.14. While most years have 52 complete weeks, there are occasionally extra days that accumulate, leading to some years having a partial extra week. However, when considering a standard year, it is conventionally counted as 52 weeks. In the case of a leap year, which has 366 days, it similarly results in approximately 52.29 weeks, still rounding to 52 weeks for general calculations. This is why the answer given is indeed correct.
