Here is an explanation:

THE SELECTED ANSWER IS CORRECT

However, in reference to time and

measurement, and in phrases implying

personification, possessive form has

become accepted usage:

- a day’s notice

- an hour’s work

- two years’ progress (plural possessive)

- two weeks’ salary (plural possessive)

An easy way to remember this is to realize that

possession does not belong only to people and

places, but also to time . Here are examples:

- The end of the journey = the journey’s end

- In the time of 1 hour = in an hour’s time

- In the time of 5 hours = in 5 hours’ time (both

possessive and plural)

- In the time of a month = in a month’s time (it is only one

month)
