To find out how many weeks the gestation period is, I need to convert days to weeks. I know that one week has 7 days, so I can divide the number of days by 7 to get the number of weeks. 609 divided by 7 is 87 with a remainder of 0. This means that the gestation period is exactly 87 weeks long.


The Asian elephant has an average gestation period of 609 days. How many weeks is this gestation period?
