Question

How many seconds are in an 8 hour work day? Set this up using the correct unit rates. Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer: 28,800

So to solve this, it is really easy. You can either search on the go_ogle converter, select time, and put hour to seconds, and put 8 hours and it will give you 28,800 seconds. Or you could simply multiply the given value, this time 8, by 3,600. This will give you 28,800. So show your work, well you can say, if in 1 hour there are 60 minutes, and in 60 minutes there are 3,600 seconds.

3,600 seconds = 60 minutes.

60 minutes = 1 hour.

Multiply the amount of hours (8) by the amount of seconds there are in 60 minutes (3,600). This will give you 28,800.

Answer 2

28,800 seconds

Explanation:

First, let's establish some unit rates:

1 hour = 60 minutes (there are 60 minutes in an hour)

1 minute = 60 seconds (there are 60 seconds in a minute)

Now, we can calculate the total number of seconds in an 8-hour workday:

1 workday (8 hours) = 8 hours/day

Now, convert hours to minutes using the unit rate:

8 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour = 480 minutes/day

Next, convert minutes to seconds using the unit rate:

480 minutes/day * 60 seconds/minute = 28,800 seconds/day

So, there are 28,800 seconds in an 8-hour workday.
