Question

A plane ride lasted 6.4 hours. How many seconds did the plane ride last? If necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second

Answer 1

Answer:

23,040 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a plane ride lasts 6.4 hours. We are asked to find the number of seconds, the plane ride lasted.

We know that 1 minute equals 60 seconds.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 60*60 (3600) seconds.

To find the number of seconds the plane ride lasted, we will multiply 6.4 by 3600.

$\text{The plane ride lasted}=6.4\text{ hours}\times \frac{\text{3600 seconds}}{\text{ hour}}$

$\text{The plane ride lasted}=6.4\text{ hours}\times \text{3600 seconds}$

$\text{The plane ride lasted}=23040\text{ seconds}$

Therefore, the plane ride lasted for 23,040 seconds.

Answer 2

Answer: 23, 040 seconds

Given: A plane ride lasted  =6.4 hours.

We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

And 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, the number of seconds in one hour=$60\times60=3600\text{ seconds}$

Now, the number of seconds the plane last is given by ;-

$6.4\times3,600=23,040\text{ seconds}$

Hence, the plane ride lasted 23,040 seconds.
