Challenge: Things that count

age = 29
days = age * 52 * 7
decades = float(age / 10)
estimate = round(decades)
summary = "I am {} days old! That's about {} decades!".format(days, str(estimate))

At fourth task I am getting an error about task one. I can't understand where is my error. The error message is this,

"Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing."

In addition I can't write decades = age / 10 and I thought python converts automatically an integer division in a float.

Thank you in advance for your help

You have to put the number between the bracket {} and the estimate variable should be integer.

This is the right code:

age = 29
days = age * 52 * 7
decades = float(age / 10)
estimate = int(round(decades))
summary = "I am {0} days old! That's about {1} decades!".format(days, estimate)
