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

Explanation:

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*60=3600\text{ seconds}`

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

`6.4*3,600=23,040\text{ seconds}`

Hence, the plane ride lasted 23,040 seconds.

Answer 2

23,040 seconds.

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}* \frac{\text{3600 seconds}}{\text{ hour}}`

`\text{The plane ride lasted}=6.4\text{ hours}* \text{3600 seconds}`

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

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