How many hours are there in a fortnight if a fortnight equals two weeks?

1 week = 7 days
1 day = 24 hours

There are 336 hours in a fortnight. This is calculated by multiplying 14 days by 24 hours per day. A fortnight equals two weeks, and each week has 7 days.

Calculation of Hours in a Fortnight

To find out how many hours are in a fortnight, let's break it down as follows:

  1. We know a fortnight equals 2 weeks.
  2. One week has 7 days, so 2 weeks will have:
  3. 2 weeks × 7 days/week = 14 days
  4. Each day has 24 hours, so the total number of hours in 14 days is:
  5. 14 days × 24 hours/day = 336 hours

Hence, there are 336 hours in a fortnight.
