  • 1 day is equivalent to 24 hours

So we will divide 12, 250 hours by 24 to find how many days he had been at school


(12250)/(24) = 510.4

This proves that, Joe has been at school for 510 days and hours.

  • On the second step, 365 days is equivalent to 1 year. This will help us to find how many years he has been at school


(510.4)/(365) = 1.4

So the correct answer is 1.4 years
