Camels humps hold a water reserve. When they drink, their humps store extra water, giving their bodies a water supply to hold them over until they can find water again.

How many weeks are in 228 days?

About 32 and a half. It isn't an even number.


Convert 224 days to weeks?

32 weeks this answer is given on the assumption that there are 7 days in a week and therefore 28 days in a month. But as some months have 30 days and some 31 days or even 28 days in February, 32 weeks is not really the correct answer. So take an average of 30 days added to 31 days which will give you 30.5 days in a month. This will make the answer to your question 29.39 weeks. The difference could be important
