Final answer:
You would be approximately 31.7 years old if you have lived 1 billion seconds. This calculation shows that 1 billion seconds is much less than the age of the universe, which is about 14 billion years.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many years old you are if you have lived 1 billion seconds, we first need to know how many seconds are in one year. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and about 365 days in a year. This gives us:
- 60 seconds/minute × 60 minutes/hour = 3,600 seconds/hour
- 3,600 seconds/hour × 24 hours/day = 86,400 seconds/day
- 86,400 seconds/day × 365 days/year = 31,536,000 seconds/year
Now, we divide 1 billion seconds by the number of seconds in one year to find the number of years:
1,000,000,000 seconds ÷ 31,536,000 seconds/year = 31.7 years (approximately)
B. Converting 1 billion seconds into years gives us about 31.7 years.
C. When compared to the age of the universe, which is approximately 14 billion years (1.4 × 10¹⁰ years), living for 1 billion seconds is just a minuscule fraction of the age of the universe.
D. The question about neutrino interactions is not directly related to the calculation of time, but generally speaking, neutrinos very rarely interact with matter, which is why they are difficult to detect and study.
