Question #3d7e2

Answer 1

Convert seconds into minutes

There are 60 seconds in 1 minute

So, how many minutes is 50,000 seconds?

So, divide 50,000 by 60 to get how many minutes that is

50,000 `divide` 60 = 833.33 minutes

Now, convert minutes to hours

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour

Divide 833.33 by 60 to get how many hours that is

833.33 `divide` 60 = 13.88 hours

there are 24 hours in a day

Divide 24 by 13.88

24 `divide` 13.88 = 1.72

Answer 2

`~~0.5787" days to 4 dec. places"`

Explanation:

`"using the following conversions"`

`• " 1 minute "=60" seconds"`

`• " 1 hour "=60" minutes"`

`• " 1 day "=24" hours"`

`"seconds "-:60to" minutes"`

`"minutes "-:60to" hours"`

`"hours "-:24to" days"`

`"thus dividing seconds by "(60xx60xx24)" gives days"`

`rArr(50000)/(60xx60xx24)=0.5787037....`

`rArr~~0.5787" days to 4 decimal places"`
