C. 5 h
D. 30 h

Answer 1

what up i had got c because all the other answers didnt make sence

Answer 2

Answer: C. 5 h

Explanation:

Given: 1 min = 60 s

`\\\Rightarrow1s=(1)/(60)\ \text{min}`

1 h = 60 min

`\\\Rightarrow1\ \text{min}=(1)/(60)\ h\\\Rightarrow\ 1s=(1)/(60)*(1)/(60)\ h\\\Rightarrow\ 1s=(1)/(3600)h`

Then, 18000s=
`18000*(1)/(3600)h`

`\\\Rightarrow\ 1800s=5h`

Hence C is the right option. 18,000 s is equivalent to 5 h
