I assume you mean fortnight? haha

Anyway, to answer this question, we need to have prior knowledge of time measurements. You should know that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day.

Therefore, if a fortnight is 14 days, we should multiply 14 by 24 to work out how many hours there are:

14 × 24 = 336 hours

Now, we should multiply 336 by 60 to work out the number of minutes:

336 × 60 = 20,160 minutes

And finally, we just need to multiply 20,160 by 60 again to work out the number of seconds:

20,160 × 60 = 1,209,600 seconds

And there you go! Your final answer is 1,209,600 seconds.
