Question

How do you convert the measurement of 2 days into seconds?

Answer 1

Hint: We know that a day has 24 hours and every hour has 60 minutes and every minute has 60 seconds in it. So, every hour has 3600 seconds (60 minutes x 60 seconds). Therefore, we can use the unitary method to evaluate the given problem.

Step By Step Solution:
The given problem statement is to convert 2 days into seconds.
We know that a day has 24 hours, we get,
$\Rightarrow 1day=24hours$
Then, 2 days will have 48 hours that means we will simply multiply 2 with 24 hours, we get,
$\Rightarrow 2days=2\times 24hours=48hours$
Now, we know that 1 hour has 60 minutes and 1 minute has 60 seconds. So, in total, an hour has 3600 seconds. So simply, we get,
$\Rightarrow 1hour=3600\sec$
Then, 48 hours will have 1,72,800 seconds that means we will simply multiply 48 with 3600 seconds, we get,
$\Rightarrow 48hours=(48\times 3600)\sec =1,72,800\sec$
As 2 days have 48 hours whatever the value of 48 hours in seconds the same value of seconds will be for 2 days.

Therefore, 2 days into seconds is 1,72,800 seconds.

Additional Information:
For the measurement of time, we need a minute and a second. The basic unit of time is femtosecond. Time can also be determined by dividing distance and speed where distance is the numerator and speed is the denominator. We should also keep in mind 1 day has 24 hours. Each hour has 60 minutes as well as each minute has 60 seconds.

Note: There is an alternative method of solving this problem, let’s see what is the other way. $=2.day\times 24.h.da{y}^{-1}\times (60.min.h^{-1})\times (60.s.\stackrel{-1}{min})$
The above statement says that there are 2 days, each day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds.
So, we will simply multiply each of them with each other that is 2 days, 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds
$=2\times 24\times 60\times 60\sec$
$=172800$ seconds
Therefore, 2 days into seconds is 1,72,800 seconds.
