Question

The age of the universe in seconds

Answer 1

4.351968e+17 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

So I googled age of the universe and it says 13.8 billion years.

you'll have to do some conversions:

in one year, there are 365 days. in one day, there are 24 hours. in one hour, there are 3600 seconds.

`(1 year)/(365 days) x (1 day)/(24 hours) x (1 hour)/(3600 seconds)`

so you have to add in the current age of the universe to that equation:

`(x seconds)/(13.8 bil years) x (1 year)/(365 days) x (1 day)/(24 hours) x (1 hour)/(3600 seconds)`

arranged so that the proper "units" will read as "x seconds" at the end of the equation.

then you do the math to find x:

13.8 billion x 365 x 24 x 3600 = 4.351968e+17 seconds.

which would be 435,196,800,000,000,000 seconds

Hope this helps :)
