How to convert 72 weeks to months?

We know (by definition) that: 1 wk ≈ 0.22998438 mo.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of months.

1 wk / 72 wk ≈ 0.22998438 mo / x mo

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x mo ≈ (72 wk / 1 wk) * 0.22998438 mo → x mo ≈ 16.55887536 mo

Conclusion:

72 wk ≈ 16.55887536 mo

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Weeks

"A week is a time unit equal to seven days. It is the standard time period used for cycles of rest days in most parts of the world, mostly alongside—although not strictly part of—the Gregorian calendar. The days of the week were named after the classical planets (derived from the astrological system of planetary hours) in the Roman era. In English, the names are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday."

Months

"A month is a unit of time, used with calendars, which is approximately as long as a natural period related to the motion of the Moon; month and Moon are cognates. The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases; such months (lunations) are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days. From excavated tally sticks, researchers have deduced that people counted days in relation to the Moons phases as early as the Paleolithic age. Synodic months, based on the Moon s orbital period with respect to the Earth-Sun line, are still the basis of many calendars today, and are used to divide the year."
