How many weeks are there in a year?

The correct answer is 52 because a standard year consists of 365 days. To calculate the number of weeks in a year, we divide 365 days by 7 days per week, which results in approximately 52.14 weeks. This means there are typically 52 complete weeks in a year, with some extra days that do not complete another week.

In certain situations, such as leap years or specific calendar calculations, the number of weeks can seem to go up to 53, but for a standard year, 52 weeks is the most accurate answer. Therefore, 52 is firmly established as the common understanding of the number of weeks in a year.
