calculating how many seconds in a fortnight. 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 14 days in a fortnight. So,   60  ⋅  60  ⋅  24  ⋅  14  =  1  ,  209  ,  600 seconds in a fortnight. i.e.   1   second   =      1          1      ,      209      ,      600         fortnightsNext, we know there are 220 yards in a furlong, soHorse Speed:=5 yards every 1 second=       5    220   furlongs per 1 second=       5    220   furlongs per       1          1      ,      209      ,      600       fortnight=       5    220    ⋅  1  ,  209  ,  600 furlongs per fortnight= 27,490 furlongs per fortnight
