a) 8,280 seconds
b) 8,280 minutes
c) 55,440 seconds
d) 55,440 minutes

Answer 1

To convert 2.3 hours to seconds, multiply by 60 (minutes per hour) and then by 60 again (seconds per minute). The result is 8,280 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert hours to seconds, we need to consider the relationship between hours and seconds. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, and 60 seconds in 1 minute. So to convert hours to seconds, we need to multiply the number of hours by 60 (to convert to minutes) and then multiply by 60 again (to convert to seconds).

Given that we have 2.3 hours, we can calculate the equivalent in seconds:

2.3 hours × 60 minutes/hour × 60 seconds/minute = 8,280 seconds
