The scientists estimate that it will take 12,600 seconds for a computer program to break a particular code. How long is 12,600 seconds in hours and minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 hours 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

1 hour = 60 minutes,

1 minute = 60 seconds,

⇒ 1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds,

[tex]\implies 1\text{ second}=\frac{1}{3600}\text{ hour}[/tex]

Thus, the number of hours in 12,600 seconds = 12600 × number of hours in 1 second

[tex]=12600\times \frac{1}{3600}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{126}{36}[/tex]

[tex]=3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

= 3 hours 30 minutes  ( ∵ 1/2 hours = 30 minutes )
