Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember some properties about time conversions.

Given that every episode of a tv series is 33 minutes long and you watched 63 episodes, we have to determine how many days of your life you've spent watching this tv series.

First, we find how many minutes you've spent, by multiplying the number of episodes by their lengths:


33\cdot63=2079\text{ minutes}

Now, knowing there is 60 minutes in 1 hour and 24 hours in a day, you multiply this number to find how many minutes there is in a day:


60\cdot24=1440

And divide the number of minutes we had by this number we found:


(2079)/(1440)\approx1.44375

Since we want to round the answer to the nearest tenth, we have


1.4\text{ days}
