To find out how many seconds are in 5 hours, we need to break it down into smaller units. First, we know that there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour.
Here’s the calculation:
- Seconds in a minute: 60
- Minutes in an hour: 60
- Hours: 5
Now, we can calculate the total:
Seconds = Hours × Minutes per Hour × Seconds per Minute
Seconds = 5 × 60 × 60
Evaluating this gives us:
Seconds = 5 × 3600 = 18000
Therefore, there are 18,000 seconds in 5 hours.
