23 weeks is how many months​
inna [77]

\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}

  • How many months is 23 weeks?

\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}

Each month has at least 4 weeks, with some months having an extra day or two.

It's given to find how many months see there in 24 weeks. For this, we need to divide the given number of weeks (23) by the number of weeks in 1 month (4).

So,

\sf \: 23  \div  4 \\  =   \boxed{\boxed{ \bf \: 5.75 \approx \: 6 \: months}}

We can see that 23 weeks is <u>5.75 months which is approximately 6 months. </u>

__________________

If you want a more standard value then we can calculate weeks in 1 months as 4.345. Then, we must divide 23 weeks by 4.345.

\sf \: 23  \div 4.345 \\  =  \boxed{\boxed{ \bf \:  5.293 \: months}}

Now, we'll get the answer as <u>5.293 months</u>.

__________________

You can write the answer in either form. Your answer can be rounded of to 6 months in the 1st explanation or it can be written as 5 months if you followed the 2nd explanation. The given weeks is 23, an odd number..so it's hard to decide the correct number of months.

AleksAgata [21]
Do they work you mean?? Different variations of the position of your hands hits different muscle parts. Like doing push-ups with your hands far apart hits more of the chest area. Doing them with your hands close hits more of your triceps. I personally like them close.
