Knowing exactly how many hours are in each week is important for our daily life, study and while at work. Companies can plan and schedule deliveries by hour in a year that will arrive or a production line to actual output in second in a year. People can arrange leisure trips on they’re time off, including how many hour travel. Indeed, busy people with a lot of work and family life organise themselves by keeping time by hours in a year they have and especially hours per week.
Hours in a week calculation
First work out how many hours in a day and number of days in a week.
How many hours in a day = 24 hours
How many days in a week = 7 days
1 hour = 1/24 of a day or 1/168 of a week.
Hours in week formula: Multiply hours a day x days in week (7 x 24 =168)
1 week = 7 days/week = (7 days/week) × (24 hours/day) = 168 hours in a week.
On average adults try to sleep 8 hours a day every weeks, which means 7 days x 8 hours = 56 hours of sleep each week. That leaves 16 hours a day for work, relaxing, hobbies, shopping, commute and household tasks in one day or 16 hours x 7 day= 112 hours a week.
Practice question
A couple likes to go cycling several times every week when they can, weather permitted. Joe goes out 4 mornings a week for 1 ½ hours each day and Susan 3 morning each week for one hours.
What is the total time the couple goes cycling in the week?
Joe 4 x 1.5 hours = 6 hours per week
Susan 3 hours = 3 hours a week
6 + 3 = 9 hours a week the couple goes cycling a week in total.
