How to convert 72 weeks to years?

We know (by definition) that: $1 wk \approx 0.019165365 yr$

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

\frac{1 wk}{72 wk} \approx \frac{0.019165365 yr}{x yr}

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

x yr \approx \frac{72 wk}{1 wk} * 0.019165365 yr \to x yr \approx 1.37990628 yr

Conclusion: $72 wk \approx 1.37990628 yr$

72 weeks is equivalent to 1.37990626954417 years

Units involved

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."

Years

"A year is the orbital in which Earth moves in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the globe, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked."
