What is the equivalent of 13,033 seconds in hours, minutes, and seconds? 6 hrs, 35 min, 28 sec 4 hrs, 36 min, 23 sec 2 hrs, 40 min, 11 sec 3 hrs, 37 min, 13 sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13 033 s =13 033/60 min or 217.216666667 so 13 033 s = 217 min .216666667*60s =217 min 13 s 227 min = 3 h 47 min so 13 033 s = 3h 37min 13s So the last option is correct

OpenStudy (perl):

first we can find the number of hours

OpenStudy (perl):

how many seconds are in an hour?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60

OpenStudy (perl):

no thats how many minutes in an hour

OpenStudy (perl):

1 hour = 60 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds 1 hour = 60 x 60 seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh , i read that wrong its 3600

OpenStudy (perl):

right

OpenStudy (perl):

so to find the number of hours, divide 13,033 / 3600

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

indeed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you multiply the fraction after the decimal point with 60, you get the nr of minuts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an again if you then multiply the fraction of minutes you fount with 60 you get the number of seconds

OpenStudy (perl):

ok ill show you the trick

OpenStudy (perl):

this is also how you would program a computer to give you an answer

OpenStudy (perl):

int(13033/60) + (13033/60 - 60*int(13033/60))

OpenStudy (perl):

it is easier to go about this from the bottom first convert seconds to minutes, then minutes to hours. 13033 seconds , lets label this A

OpenStudy (perl):

time is funny its a base 60 system
