You decide to take a 30-year mortgage of $125,000 offered by the Bank of Montreal. Instead of making the monthly payment of $736.71 every month, you can make half the payment every two weeks (so that you will make 522=26 payments a year). How long will it take to pay off the mortgage if the EAR on the loan is 6.00%?

(Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.)

1. The amount of time to pay off the loan is ........ weeks.
