How to Convert Seconds to Days
Example: How many days are equivalent to 37.87 seconds?
As;
1 seconds = 1.1574E-5 days
37.87 seconds = Y days
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 37.87 times 1.1574E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 37.87 * 1.1574E-5 / 1 = 0.00043830738 days
Answer is: 0.00043830738 days are equivalent to 37.87 seconds.
