Video transcript

Typically, a month has 4 weeks plus a few extra days. For precise calculations, remember that 1 week equals 7 days. Multiply this by 4 weeks to get 28 days, and then add the remaining days of the month (which can be 2 or 3 for months with 30 or 31 days, and 0 or 1 for February). This includes weekends as part of each week.
