There are not 52 complete weeks in one year. 52 x 7 is 364, there is one extra day each year (otherwise your birthday - for example - would always be on the same day of the week). In seven years that means that there is one complete extra week (in fact this takes less than 7 years because there may be one or two leap years in a 7 year period).
So, in 7 years there are 52 x 7 + 1 weeks. (365 weeks)

Year 1: 52
Year 2: 51
Year 3: 51
Year 4: 51
Year 5: 51
Year 6: 52
Year 7: 52
Total: 360

This year started on a Sunday. Open your computer's calendar and count for yourself.

Note: As we all know, there are 52 weeks in a year, but that doesn't mean that each year, 52 weeks start on Sunday. Next year, Jan 1 is on a Monday. That first week is subtracted from the 52.

Note 2: 365 as Mr H. said below is correct (if my understanding of the problem is incorrect). His reasoning is just as well.

Depending on when leap year falls, there are either 2556 or 2557 days in 7 years. Since there are 7 days in a week, either way there are 365 full weeks, with either 1 or 2 extra days.

Well you just find out how many weeks are in one year which is 52 weeks, then you multiply that number by 7 and then you get your answer. Which should come out to be 364 weeks. Hope I helped out?!!

1 year = 52 weeks.
7 years = 7 times 52
