Question

How do you convert 1.6 days to seconds?

Answer 1

Hint: We need to convert 1.6 days to seconds. To solve this, we will first convert given days to the number of hours. To do this, we should know that 1 day is equal to 24 hours. After this. we will convert hours to minutes as 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes and finally, we will convert minutes to seconds, using that 1 minute is 60 seconds.

Complete step by step solution:
We need to convert 1.6 days to seconds. To do this, we will need to do multiplication operation three times. First, we will convert the days to the hours, then we will convert these hours in minutes, and finally we will get the seconds by converting the minutes into seconds. To do this, we should know that one day consists of 24 hours, one hour consists of 60 minutes, and one minute consists of 60 seconds.
First Let us convert 1day into hours using 1day =24 hours. Thus, we get the number of hours as \[1.6\times 24=38.4\].
Now, as 1hour consists 60 minutes then the number of minutes in 1.6 days \[38.4\times 60=2304\].
Finally, to find the number of seconds in 1.6 days, we multiply the hours we got in previous step by 60, thus we get \[2304\times 60=\text{1,38,240}\].

Hence, 1.6 days equals 1,38,240 seconds.

Note: We can also solve the above question by remembering the number of seconds in one day and using it directly. One day equals 86,400 seconds.
Therefore 1.6days =$\left( 1.6 \right)$$\left( 86,400 \right)$.
 =138,240.
$\therefore $1.6days = 138,240.
Therefore 1.6days is equal to 138,240 seconds.
