To convert 8 weeks into seconds, we need to use a chain of conversions with familiar measures of time.

1 week has 7 days.
1 day has 24 hours.
1 hour has 60 minutes.
1 minute has 60 seconds.

So, to convert 8 weeks into seconds, we can multiply as follows:

8 weeks * 7 days/week * 24 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute

Using a calculator, this simplifies to:

8 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 = 4,838,400 seconds.

Therefore, 8 weeks is equivalent to 4,838,400 seconds.
