About Week (wk)
Definition
The week is a unit of time equal to 7 days, or 604,800 seconds.
Mathematical Relationship
1 wk = 7 d = 168 h = 10,080 min = 604,800 s. A year has about 52.18 weeks.
Conversion Formula
To convert weeks to days: multiply by 7. To convert weeks to hours: multiply by 168.
Practical Applications
Pay periods (biweekly), pregnancy tracking (40 weeks), sprint cycles in agile development, and workout schedules.
Interesting Facts
The seven-day week has no astronomical basis — unlike days, months, and years, it's a purely human invention. It has been continuous for thousands of years.
Common Mistakes
Assuming months are exactly 4 weeks — most months are 4.3 weeks (30–31 days). Only February in non-leap years is exactly 4 weeks.
Educational Tips
Days of the week in many languages reflect the seven celestial bodies: Sun-day, Moon-day, Saturn-day, etc.
About Hour (h)
Definition
The hour is a unit of time equal to 60 minutes, or 3,600 seconds.
Mathematical Relationship
1 h = 60 min = 3,600 s = 3.6 × 10⁶ ms. There are 24 hours in a day and 8,760 in a non-leap year.
Conversion Formula
To convert hours to minutes: multiply by 60. To convert hours to seconds: multiply by 3,600.
Practical Applications
Work schedules, flight durations, speed limits (km/h, mph), cooking times, and pay rates (hourly wages).
Interesting Facts
Before mechanical clocks, 'hours' varied by season — a summer daytime hour was longer than a winter one. These were called 'temporal hours.'
Common Mistakes
Converting decimal hours to minutes/seconds incorrectly: 2.5 h = 2 h 30 min, not 2 h 50 min. Think base-60.
Educational Tips
The kilowatt-hour (kWh) on your electric bill is energy = power × time. 1 kWh = using 1,000 watts for 1 hour.
