By a process of gradual multiplication, we arrive at the answer: #2117# seconds.

Explanation:

We progressively convert the weeks into days, the days into hours, the hours into minutes, and the minutes into seconds.

To convert weeks into days, we multiply by #7#.

#0.0035xx7=0.0245#, the number of days.

To convert days into hours, we multiply by #24#.

#0.0245xx24=0.588#, the number of hours.

To convert hours into minutes, we multiply by #60#.

#0.588xx60=35.28#, the number of minutes.

To convert minutes to seconds, we multiply by #60#.

#35.28xx60=2116.8#, the number of seconds.

This can be rounded off to #2117# seconds.
