Question

How many hours are in 5 years?

Answer 1

43,800 hours is your answer.

365 days/year X 24hrs. = 8,760hrs.

8,760hrs. X 5 = 43,800

Answer 2

To find out how many hours are in a year, we need to convert years into months, months into days, then days into hours.

There are 12 months in a year. Multiply a year by the 12 months:


`1 * 12 = 12`

There are 365 days in a year. Therefore, there will be 365 days in 12 months.

There are 24 hours in a day. Multiply the amount of hours in a day by the amount of days:


`24 * 365 = 8760`

There are 8760 hours in a year.

The question asks for the amount of hours in 5 years. We know that there are 8760 hours in a year, so multiply this amount by the total amount of years. The following product will be your answer:


`8760 * 5 = \boxed{\text{43800 hours}}`
