How to Convert Seconds to Days
Example: How many days are equivalent to 45.88 seconds?
As;
1 seconds = 1.1574E-5 days
45.88 seconds = Y days
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 45.88 times 1.1574E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 45.88 * 1.1574E-5 / 1 = 0.00053101512 days
Answer is: 0.00053101512 days are equivalent to 45.88 seconds.
