Question

How do you convert 0.0035 weeks into seconds?

Answer 1

By a process of gradual multiplication, we arrive at the answer: `2117` seconds.

Explanation:

We progressively convert the weeks into days, the days into hours, the hours into minutes, and the minutes into seconds.

To convert weeks into days, we multiply by `7`.

`0.0035xx7=0.0245`, the number of days.

To convert days into hours, we multiply by `24`.

`0.0245xx24=0.588`, the number of hours.

To convert hours into minutes, we multiply by `60`.

`0.588xx60=35.28`, the number of minutes.

To convert minutes to seconds, we multiply by `60`.

`35.28xx60=2116.8`, the number of seconds.

This can be rounded off to `2117` seconds.
