Conversion formula
How to convert 740 hours to weeks?

We know (by definition) that: $1 hr \approx 0.005952381 wk$

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

\frac{1 hr}{740 hr} \approx \frac{0.005952381 wk}{x wk}

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

x wk \approx \frac{740 hr}{1 hr} * 0.005952381 wk \to x wk \approx 4.404761939999999 wk

Conclusion: $740 hr \approx 4.404761939999999 wk$

740 hours is equivalent to 4.40476190476191 weeks

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 week is equal to 0.227027027027027 times 740 hours.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: seven hundred and forty hours is about four point four zero weeks, or alternatively, a week is about zero point two three times seven hundred and forty hours.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Hours

"Midnight (or noon) on a 12-hour analog clock An hour is a unit of time conventionally reckoned as 1⁄24 of a day and scientifically reckoned as 3,599–3,601 seconds, depending on conditions.The seasonal, temporal, or unequal hour was established in the ancient Near East as 1⁄12 of the night or daytime. Such hours varied by season, latitude, and weather. It was subsequently divided into 60 minutes, each of 60 seconds. Its East Asian equivalent was the shi, which was 1⁄12 of the apparent solar day; a similar system was eventually developed in Europe which measured its equal or equinoctial hour as 1⁄24 of such days measured from noon to noon. The minor variations of this unit were eventually smoothed by making it 1⁄24 of the mean solar day, based on the measure of the suns transit along the celestial equator rather than along the ecliptic. This was finally abandoned due to the minor slowing caused by the Earths tidal deceleration by the Moon.In the modern metric system, hours are an accepted unit of time equal to 3,600 seconds but an hour of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) may incorporate a positive or negative leap second,[a] making it last 3,599 or 3,601 seconds, in order to keep it within 0.9 seconds of universal time, which is based on measurements of the mean solar day at 0° longitude."

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."
