America's age = 243.85 years

Further explanation

When converting units, list and multiply all the units until you find the unit you want

Time unit conversion

1 year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 3600 s

7.69 x 10⁹ seconds to years :


\tt =7.69* 10^9~s* (1`hour)/(3600~s)* (1~day)/(24~hours)* (1~years)/(365~days)\\\\=(7.69* 10^9)/(3600* 24* 365)\\\\=\boxed{\bold{243.85~years}}
