If each lower number, or denominator, is the same, you can order them like whole numbers, for instance 1/5, 3/5, and 8/5. Otherwise, you can alter your list of fractions to use the same denominator, without changing the size of any fraction.
Well, it is 9 months, but the average month is 4.3 weeks long, not 4. - (52 weeks / 12 months = 4.333 weeks per month.) - 4.333 weeks x 9 months = 38.99 weeks. So 9 months is just about the average of the 38 and 40 week numbers. To sum up, doctors talk about pregnancy on a 40 week timeline, the actual gestational time is about 38 weeks. All the being said, there are some variances in baby due date accuracy. Posted by Bill, almost a dad
The average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks. Most OBGYNs will allow the baby to stay in up to 42 weeks before using medical interventions. After that, the placenta begins to deteriorate, and the baby does not receive the oxygen and nutrition necessary to survive in the womb.0 weeks is a guesstimate! Lots of babies arrive early as well. If you question is aiming more along the lines of How long can you stay pregnant (some pregnant women are afraid of birth, and sometimes wonder what would happen if they chose not to push... lol) the answer is-approximately 40 weeks gestation. Lol.
