You are on the right path. Here is a walkthrough of the challenge:

# create a variable named years. 
# Assign years to the number of years old you are.
years = 30

# Now we need to multiply the number years by the number of days in a year.
# We'll ignore leap years, so just multiply years by 365
# and assign it to the variable days.
days = years * 365

# Make a new variable named weeks. 
# Give it the value of days divided by 7.
weeks = days / 7
