How to Convert Days to Seconds
Example: How many seconds are equivalent to 22.45 days?
As;
1 days = 86400 seconds
22.45 days = Y seconds
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 22.45 times 86400 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 22.45 * 86400 / 1 = 1939680 seconds
Answer is: 1939680 seconds are equivalent to 22.45 days.
