This problem is missing some info. I'll just show how I convert hours to seconds.

26 hours to seconds.

1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds

26 hours * 60 minutes/1hr = 26 * 60 minutes = 1,560 minutes
1,560 minutes * 60 seconds/1min = 1,560 * 60 seconds = 93,600 seconds

26 hours has 93,600 seconds.
