Question

A picosecond in one trillionth of a second. How many picoseconds are there in 12 minutes?

Answer 1

720,000,000,000,000 or 720 trillion picoseconds.

Explanation:

1 picosecond = 1 trillionth of a second. Therefore 1 second has 1 trillion picoseconds:

0.000 000 000 001 seconds = 1 picosecond

0.000 000 000 001 * 1,000,000,000,000 seconds = 1 * 1,000,000,000,000 picosecond

1 second = 1,000,000,000,000 picoseconds

Now, one minute is the same as 60 seconds so we multiply the equation by 60:

1 minute = 60 seconds = 60,000,000,000,000 picoseconds

Finally, we need 12 minutes to be converted to picoseconds.

12 minutes = 720 seconds = 720,000,000,000,000 picoseconds.

So therefore, 12 minutes is equal to 720,000,000,000,000 picoseconds or 720 trillion picoseconds.

Hope this helps!!!
